OK, I may be a big negative with all these bug posts so here's some GOOD things about 1.9.1:
  1. Shiny surfaces reflect light MUCH more realistically; they actually LOOK shiny now instead of just that stupid environmental map. Transparent shiny surfaces are AWESOME! (Too bad bumpmapping doesn't work with shiny/transparent too though.)
  2. Flex prims are cool but buggy.
  3. Box/prism/cylinder x/y taper is great--more prim parameters, LL!
  4. Narrower script window! Though it still could go narrower if the stupid "Help...", "Save", and "Reset" buttons were narrower--why so much empty space on either side of the text??

I'd like to say occlusion culling is cool but it doesn't seem to have much effect and doesn't stop LOD calculations (which are a MAJOR source of SL lag)!
