I have spent many an hour working on getting my laptop to run Second Life as best as it can, and I have achieved a pretty good environment for myself. My home lot runs pretty well, but when I venture out onto the grid, I usually run into lots of lag, and I am always curious as to where it comes from.
I have heard a lot of things that people have said that will help with lag, especially at busy places with a lot of avatars (i.e. Store openings, big sales, concerts, etc). I always wonder how much of these "lag reducing" methods actually work, but I have never taken the time to really dig into them.
Today I found a blog post that really digs down into the causes of lag, and what is really true about what might be done to reduce it. I honestly think that anybody that owns a store, or a sim, and wants to make the experience that people have in your palce the best that it possibly can be, need to read this post thoroughly. It has some really important tips to make things just work better, which I think if implemented properly, would really improve the over all experience for many people.
I hear a lot about how Linden Labs needs to make things better, and while I am all for pushing Linden Labs for performance enhancements, I am also a big believer of people doing all that they can to make thier own lives, both RL and SL, better using all the tools and techniques available to them.
If you are a builder, a store owner, a sim owner/manager, a content creator of almost any type, I think you will benefit from the information in this post!
Please take a look and please let me know what you think! Feedback is always appreciated!
Have a lag free day!
