hmmm TriloByte, you obviously aren't a linux user going by your comment:
"but one of the most important ones was an upgrade to the libraries used for texture rendering. Significant boost in performance, meaning textures load much more quickly. The performance gains are even bigger for Linux and Mac users (since the old versions of those libraries were slower on those platforms)".
Have a look at jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-809
LL released v2.5 for linux even though the beta had a MAJOR performance bug. This is probably why Q glossed over this "feature".
Don't waste your time with this release if you are on linux.
