I hope nobody minds me jumping in but I have a (maybe) dumb question. When I joined SL in 2009, it was on a Macbook Pro (laptop). I never had any issues with SL for 3-4 years; never lagged too badly and it always ran smoothly. Around 2014, I noticed that I was lagging a lot more using the laptop. These days, I find it almost impossible to log on via laptop unless I'm in a fairly quiet area. Going to a sim full of people lags me out totally until I have to force a crash. My question is - has the introduction of Mesh made SL more of a drain on hardware? It always seemed strange I could play SL fine on a laptop before. That would explain things for me though.
