We are still seeing extreme time dilation in Porcupine.

I noticed that the "Images Time" goes way up to like 13 milliseconds when this happens. What exactly causes images time to increase?

This is an as I understand things so anyone that knows different feel free to correct.

When someone lands in a sim. All the textures load (I am not sure if its all in draw distance or the entire sim). I am certain at least all in the draw distance weather in line of sight or not. That tends to give you a jump in images time.

Now if there are alot of really large textures particularly large TGA textures that jump in images time can really be huge. This in turn takes time from other processes and you see a Time Dialation drop and experience Mollasses Lag.

Hope that helps.
