After I downloaded and installed the new update, (not 1.4, but the one they just did a couple days ago) for some reason, performance has taken a drastic hit. Before, my game was fluid and gorgeous. Now it skips frames and has a delay when I press forward to make my character move. Connection's not an issue and drivers are ALL up to date. Here are my specs. Hope someone can help me.

P4 1.6ghz
1gig DDR
ATI Radeon 9600SE (128MB DDR)
3mbps / 256K Cable

Remember that frame rates, client lag, server lag, internet lag, internet latency, and everything else that can lessen your playing experience, varies from day to day, hour to hour, or sim to sim.

I've seen people shout about how SL runs SOOO much better after update X, while at the same time someone else is saying it's SOOO much worse. You have to give it some time for the daily fluxuations to average out. Play at different times, in different places. Visit a big event or toodle around an empty sim for a bit. Get a feel for HOW it seems slower, if it does. And if it IS a significant diffference, let the Lindens know. (Let them know if you feel it's even better too... Positive feedback may not solve bugs, but it makes the devs happier.) :)
