I think you are seeing what other people are seeing, which seems to be the asset management system failing to handle the load. I've noticed many times I cannot even load notecards, and have to try multiple times. I believe this is also at the heart of the TP problem, because of the fact attachment saving seems to cause the TP to fail.

Either that, or it's your internet connection. Are you on broadband? (Cable/DSL?) If not, what? Do you have a wireless network? Satellite? Cellular? Dial-up?

In SL, click "View" -> "Statistics Bar". (Do it again to turn it off.)

Under "Ping Sim" and "Ping User", what do you see? Mine says 52msec and 45msec, respectively. Most people seem to be a bit higher than that.

In "Help" -> "About Second Life", what does it say for "Packets Lost"? (Mine says "Packets Lost: 0/2585 (0.0%)";)

Its sounds like the asset system, its taking a log time for objects to appear from my inventory, and has just taken 2 minutes of scary waiting, waiting for something i took from a sim to show up in my inventory, was just reminding me of the same situation when i lost and object like that a few weeks ago.
