VeRy LaRgE tExTuReS lAg Me To DeAth!

Many 512 and 256 square textures work just as well when I reload them with 128 or even 64 pixels. There are also loads of 1024x1024 textures for sale in shops that work just as well sized to 256x256.

Honestly, it seems like people just refuse to even think about it. In my book, they rank right up there with the people who keep tens-of-thousands of items in their inventory just because they can. Never mind that their utter thoughtlessness for storing thousands of things they don't even know they have terminally lags our asset system. There's no rule against it right, so fuck me.

HA! They even have the audacity to complain and threaten to quit when the asset system looses 1/2 their insanely bloated inventory due, in part, to their own selfish negligence. What am I on about? I want some of what Surreal is having.

A club that puts vendor spam within viewing range. This stuff needs to be moved elsewhere or lessened to a reasonable level. Clubs like The Edge egregiously do this kind of stuff. I love them but they takes 5, 6 minutes to fully rez on my super fast connection.

I use bling, but sparingly. The most I've worn is 2 rings and a necklace usually. Accents really. In one suit (a zoot suit) I have a blinged platinum chain and a blink rose bout, but I usually turn those off..

Bling is a accent to me and I refuse to wear more than that.

That being said I'm making a bling avatar for the blingtards. Figure it will sell like hotcakes.

Shiny objects don't lag me..but ripple water does.

I use to play Tringo until all of the games were operated by dancing avs with thousand-prim hair. Pack thirty people in four-hundred square meters trying to play a timed game and then drag their frame rate to .01 by waving hoochie hair in their line of sight. Go figure.

Poofer particles.. i now have my max particles set at no more than 128 because i can't stand being blinded when someone teleports into where I am or a game hits a bonus and I'm blinded by the poofs floating in the air.

Some hair does-i used to say that hair couldn't possibly be a lag problem, but have had it proven to me

Some vendors - i understand mall owners want to maximize their profit and pack in as many vendors as they can in their rentals but i certainly wish everyone would use the low lag vendors

Improperly sized textues-this was mentioned before

May add more as I remember.

Twirly objects - twisted torii and such - was the killer for me too. They took me from someone who loved to play and build almost every day to someone who only signs on every few weeks to lament what has been lost.

It's definitely poofer particles and uber-prim hair. Poofers are cute and seriously primmed out hair is fun to look at ... for about two seconds. After that, the lag becomes too great. It reminds of me the ever-popular lake applets that used to plague Web sites in the '90s: pretty, cute, but tooo sloooow to merit the use. :P

Over accessorized avatars. I'll give a pass to those who have to use prims to create non-human avs, but the Barbies and Kens who wander around with blinging jewelry at every possible attach point have watched one too many episodes of Growing Up Gawdy.

Hair with many twirls = many many many triangles for the graphics card to choke on. Cards usually have limits how many triangles they can draw in single call.. dunno how SL client handles cases with objects excessing these limits, but it's never pretty anyway.

Avatars with accessories made out of 8 billion tiny tortured prims lags me. x_x

That nice whiz-bang shield device I bought not too long ago apparently lags me and entire sims also. Ain't that grand.

Anything above 64 draw lags me. Sad times.

Some long prim hair, lags me a lot, poofers are awful and crowded malls and stores with a lot of advertising. Casino games too. :o

Camp chairs ufffffff and everytime I go to a sim that every time you take a step it drops the same notecard or you!!! :(

Yeah local lighting kills me too... too bad, it really does look good.. I don't think there is anyone local lighting doesn't lag though :p

Oddly enough poofer particles don't lag me, until you get like 20 of them going at a time.. So much overkill.

water seems to kill me, and too many people dancing, so naturally i bought a place surrounded by water and right next to a club.

The laggiest place in sl for me is my own home *sobs*

hehe thanks ^^ water doesn't lag me at all but I know a few people who it really effects.. but when I put ripple on it doesn't change the look at all so maybe my PC just isn't rendering it properly?

Prim skirts, for some reason. My system does okay with hair. It does okay with shoes. It even does okay with 200+ prim pieces of jewelry. But slap a 50 prim collection of large cylinders on my avatar's pelvis, and there's lag.

Oh yes, and textures. Textures cause a lot of lag. Hair stores make my system cry.
