I'm currently running sl on an older computer and as you can imagine some areas in SL don't work out to well for me, so my question is this: is there anything i can do in world to boost SLs performance, for instance messing with the debug menu? any and all help is greatly appreciated!

The biggies are:
- reduce draw distance (in preferences)
- keep inventory low
- don't waer huge amounts of prims
- clear cache once in a while
In debug:
- turn off clouds
- turn off other stuff you don't mind not seeing

turn terrain detail to lowest setting.
you'd be surprised how much terrain slows you down.

I have this on a sticky - sorry, I copied this a long time ago (don't really need it), so I can't tell you from who I copied it...
Open the Preferences (EDIT / Preferences...)
You'll see tabs down the left. Set the following on the tab shown:
NETWORK TAB:

Run in Window = OFF (no tic mark)
in the drop down box, pick 800x640
Draw Distance = 64
GRAPHICS DETAIL:
Shaders:
NO 'Vertex Shaders'
NO 'Bumpmapping and Shiny'
The 4 Sliders for Detail, set at about 1/2 way.
ADV. GRAPHICS:
Filtering OFF Anisotropic Filtering
NO OpenGL Vertex Buffer Objects
Graphics Card Memory tic the largest available radio Button
Fog=4.0
Max. Particle Count = 2048
Audio & Video
Do NOT turn on streaming Video.
The sliders are all volume related. Set them in the middle.
Default UPLOAD Bitrate = 96

Another thing I do is to turn off 'show avatar names'... it's very useful if you're in an area where there are lots of people....
Regarding the graphics card memory.... and I was told this by a Linden...
Whatever size your graphics memory is...for instance if it's 64K, then choose '32k' in options....don't know why this works but it seems to work for me....
