After updating FS to the new PBR, my framerates have dropped into single digits, even with my graphics set to potato. My partner, who has an identical machine, scoots along at 30+. Anyone have any ideas why?

She has the same CPU and same graphics card, but with half the memory mine has.

There are quite a few threads about performance.  One of the biggest issues does seems to be whitelisting...

And now the major plot twist:

*ominous music*

It only happens when I'm logged into my account. Neither of my alts has this issue on this machine. This behavior doesn't happen on Alchemy viewer.

You might want to delete some data and cache related to FS with your account.

Delete your cache in Firestorm, close it, then go to:
C:\Users\YourAcct\AppData\Roaming\Firestorm_x64. Look for your account folder and delete that. Reenter the account next time FS is used, that should fix your issue.

So a clean install...

[Lindal Kidd]

A clean install would do what Jerom suggests, but isn't necessary. Just clear cache and delete the specific folder she mentions, the folder in the \\\\Firestorm_x64 directory named Charalyne Blackwood.

You will need to enter user name and password when you next open the viewer and log in, and you'll need to wait a little while your cache repopulates.

I did the things and was not made to re-enter login/password. The major differences I noticed were the toolbar at the bottom was at default. So far so good. Thanks, loves!

Weeeel I went to a club. With my graphics set to Cro-Magnon I was the only one moving at all  It would be nice if LL would be a little more informative about system requirements. My card does OpenGL 4.6 but clearly no longer supports SL properly. Meanwhile my partner's machine was running circles around mine.
