In 1.3, it would slow down a little if it was loading a bunch of avatars all at once. Now it just totally freezes until it's done, which might be a couple seconds. This can make vehicles and flying in general somewhat hazardous.

edit: I think it's more than just avatars. I think it's new stuff in general. It just seems worse when a lot of avatars show up.

try clearin out yer cache huns

also check yer main windows swapfile... it may be fragmented... theres some free tools out there that can defrag yer sawpfile... alternatively you can (for a one time shot) remove yer windows swapfile, reboot, defrag, and then let windows go back to managing a default swapfile

generally that pause happens when yer HD is churning (check the lights)
