hmm, when I log in with my main acct (which has like 20k+ things in inventory) SL is much laggier than when I use my alt with a light inv
does the inventory just keep loading in the background and drag everything down with it?
even logging out takes much much longer 
certainly my main acct has more info associated with it (friends, groups, etc) than my alt's acct, which I'm sure makes a difference
but I keep thinking it must be the blackhole of an inventory that slows everything down. Does anyone know?
big inventories draw more on the asset server i think.....
that makes sense. I just wish it wouldn't keep loading unless I try to fetch something from it
like how shortening the draw distance prevents distant objects from rezzing and thus speeds things up
I just dunno the technical term for it lol

yeah, big inventories are harder on the system. avs with small inventories run easier. MAYBE the new inventory fetching system will do
Allegory

something about that, but i dunno.
You mean a short draw distance riases the rendering speed?

I'm spending more time building with alt accounts because it's so much faster! but I miss Quinlan Quimby lol

short draw distance means you load less (not loading the things further away), less to load, everything on scene loads faster.
Allegory
says
doesn't actually do anything for the _speed_, it just all loads in faster because there's less of it!

(ha, i was wondering if that was a partner or an alt! adorable skybox that i cammed over to spy on 
haha it's a joint account that I'm using for a new project
I could feel someone was spying
Are u able to tell if someone's camming in on u??
other than the hairs on your neck that stand up and that creepy feeling, some viewers (like Phoenix) have a "show look at" function
I think it's in preferences... lemme see
O__O
hey sorry too a while to log in
if you use the Phoenix viewer, there's a dropdown menu with Phoenix only functions, including Show LookAt
I learned that one the awkward way... couldn't figure out why people would leave as soon as I cammed in on them. whoops!
Or they start moving when you're cammed in and u look at your minimap and u realize they're walking right towards u and u go OH FFFF
"You know it's awkward in SL when..." oh wait, that statement is awkward in and of itself! 
to the SL muggles anyway
