I'd like to see special prims that get priority for DL and render over all other prims. The priority prims would be given out something like one for every 64m2 land in a parcel. Then shop owners or malls could assign the priority prims to vendor signs, or they could be used for info signs, whatever. The thing is that they would rez before everything else, so we wouldn't have to stand around like jackaninnies waiting for signs to rez to see what is in a shop, or to get special info that a land owner wants us to know about their land.
In RL we can selectively filter out all the junk that doesn't matter to us, but in SL we can't. So let's have these priority prims that will allow the most important information of a parcel to be made viewable first. Imagine going to coma toast boardwalk and seeing legible signs for the stalls while the rest of the mall rezzes. This would cut down greatly on the amount of time we SLers *waste* waiting for information we need first.
If you believe that this is as important as I believe it is, please rubber stamp it so we can get this soon.

Postmark has one good idea after another. I vouch for this too, if it could be implemented in an intuitive, easy way. I'd really like it -- if I were flying by quickly and something just happened to catch my eye because it loaded quickly, and first.  |

/me invisions malls breaking up their parcels into 64sqm blocks so they can maximize their priority prims. Commercialism should get priority!  |

From: Hank Ramos /me invisions malls breaking up their parcels into 64sqm blocks so they can maximize their priority prims. Commercialism should get priority! Breaking the land up wouldn't give them any more priority prims. If they own 128m2, they get two. If they own 64m2, they get one. If they own 640m2, they get 10. Doesn't matter if it's broken up or not.

have you done the math on that? 1 in 15 prims could be priority loaded. Thats too many. I'll only support 1 in 120 (one per 512m2)
Anyway i think things like WALLS should get priority over dinky little signs. Ever smack into the wall of a mall that hasn't rezzed yet while flying?

Numbers + Ass = "The priority prims would be given out something like one for every 64m2 land in a parcel."
Just an example ;) This is just an idea, details are unimportant right now...

Sorry was a bit jumpy, i often forget this is a feature request forum and not a debating forum. My advice is to just make your signs bigger. Large prims are given priority (not sure about phantom prims). I've seen this issue brought up before and just the fact that things load slowly says to me that this is just throwing petrol on the fire.
