Viewer taking many seconds to connect to next region.

Viewer taking 10 seconds or more to connect to the next region. 4 times in 10 minutes, different regions around Heterocera. Late at night, SL not heavily loaded.

This is happening far too often.

Are others seeing this?

Yes, and frequently there is no "connecting to ..." message and if you're lucky you get the "teleport unable to ..." message. If you're unlucky you're stuck or crashed, and have to come back in and put back up things like the mini-map and inventory floaters that always seem to get knocked for six in these instances.

There are good days and bad days, if it happens once to me I know it's going to happen several times (maybe every 8th attempt). Some regions are worse to get out of than others, and I have a tentative assessment that altitude is a factor here. The higher up I am when I click on a new destination the more likely it is I'll not get  out of the place.

I haven't looked to see if SL in general is heavily loaded on the bad days, the regions I visit are sparsely populated so I don't think avatar numbers is the issue here.

I looked at Molly's hint but I don't think any of the places I go to are in the cloud yet.

 

Updated to report that I've spent a couple of hours going around without a single crash and only one "Teleport failed to complete in a timely manner" instance, so maybe they've sorted out what was going wrong?
