Today is the first day after Wilma that I can log in, and I find I can't even fly around.

The landscape is completely barren unless I stop and wait several minutes for things to appear. The most remote country sim is now worse than a crowded telehub.

I seem to get stuck at sim crossings if there are a few people in both the sim I am leaving and the one I am trying to enter.

I have read reports of texture problems, but I am seeing VERY slow, I mean VERY VERY slow rendering of prims. I am seeing time dilation dipping way down constantly. In 1.6 I hardly ever saw time dilation go down, now it seems to hang in the 80's in James where I have an airport, even with only two or three other people in the sim.

I have been building airports in anticipation of 1.7 making aircraft more viable. It looks like it is going in the wrong direction. Or is it just me? Maybe my connection is not up to full speed yet?

I have a 6mbs connection, but SL acts like I would expect it to look on a dialup line. Is it really that bad?

It's not just you.

There was about a half-hour Friday afternoon, just after LL applied a patch that it actually seemed better than before 1.7. Maybe that was because everybody got booted off and I was the only one in world.

Other than that it's been dismal.

I was flying around a few minutes ago and saw time dilations go to zero for no apparent reason. I was still getting good ping times and *awesome* frame rates LOL. But of course, couldn't move at all.

Yep.... I haven't flown a proper flight since the update. I've forgotten what it's like to walk up and down my heliport with no lag. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon. I was really looking forward to everything they promised.. but I see no change. A sim with 4 people might as well be a brick wall.
