The updates need to be smaller. SL is consuming twice the pc resources it did not too long ago. Their constant updates and minor tweaked improvements (completely unneeded today, thank you so much for the headache) have continually increased the stress of your computer.
SL's increases are causing the lag.

I find even with detail settings low, and bandwidth lowered, and with the new updates I still get lag. especially in highly populated areas. Events can easily become non-events.
I usually find my date quickly, take her someplace QUIET and romantic for a dance and a night cap. no lag there.

A bandwidth test tells me I'm running at about 994kpbs / 369kpbs between here (L.A.) and San Francisco. The bandwidth on the SL debug menu reads 13 kbps.
The ping program I've got running in a command window tells me the round trip between here and Linden Labs is usually under 40ms. The debug window tells me the trip from Linden to here, and from here to Linden, is OVER A SECOND EACH WAY.
I can hardly move. I've got every option set to nearly its lowest level. My circles are all hexagons.
It takes the Lindens TWO SECONDS to make the same trip that my computer makes in 40ms. Why is this?

This sucks...

Still not working for me either. To go from 30-60 fps down to .8-4.0 (with all preferences turned down/off) is appalling.
I've driver updated/spybotted/virus scanned/system tested/defragged/clean disked, uninstalled, reinstalled (fourth time now), and done everything support and tech. issues says to do. I have the 1.8.4.7 version, and it sucks.
I have an excellent system, more than enough to have run SL just fine 2 days ago, even with local lighting, shiny, ripple water, and all the bells and whistles. I used to be able to run Photoshop, Yahoo Messenger, WoW, AND SL at the same time on this computer, and I can still run the first three of those at the same time with no problems. This update messed up something horribly.
The main thing I'm noticing in debug and fastframes is image/object rendering is really high (lot of yellow in fast frames) I'd include a picture if forums would allow that option again. I've tried different sims at different times of the day. I'm also getting high packet loss randomly, when I enter a new area, then it settles down to "normal", but still with low low low fps. It's just not working.
