The first picture you can see that I get 40+ FPS facing WEST.
Yet turning EAST I drop to 26 FPS?
Both are with everything turned on except shadows and all option sliders set to high.

Okay smart people! Question for you. Why does your personal FPS vary depending on the direction you are facing in a sim?

It'd be interesting to see what your RenderGeom is with each of those directions, RR. Canya please do a Ctrl-Shift-2 and check?
 I have been experiencing the following. _____________________

I experience a similar anomaly. Everything is cached, and my FPS jumps from a high of 21 FPS down to around 7 or 8 FPS when I begin to turn my camera angle! =[

Gee, I dunno, could it be that in one scene you are only rendering 1 avatar and in the other scene you are rendering 4 plus a bunch of trees?

That looks about right to me. RenderGeom = Render(ing?) Geometry, so the more complex things in one direction, the slower it should get, proportionally. Altho I've been experiencing some VERY bad slowdowns around mostly simple geometries like a bunch of cubes. Things like twisted tori will have a harder hit on your local FPS.
