Has anyone discussed the future of older appliers with the BoM system? Do you think the transition will be similar to the transition to Bento or drastically different? This isn't much feedback, but working as someone who does personal styling, people catch wind of bakes on mesh and become really concerned that mesh creators are going to drop applier support from their existing bento mesh in the future for the BoM system. I never really know what to tell people in response to their worry because, I suppose until release time I'm widely unsure of whether the applier system as a whole will be dropped. I figure a large group of people will stop making appliers for mesh when BoM goes live, but when you have 4-5 years worth of work piled into this applier system from multiple designers, if mesh creators drop applier support completely with an update to the mesh then a large crowd of people are going to have a riot over the fact they can't use 4-5 years worth of stuff on their mesh anymore. It's not really a question anyone knows the answer to probably. Will mesh creators for bodies and heads drop applier support completely, or will all the pre-existing bento mesh not be updated to support BoM and all newer mesh will be? I just wish I had an answer for some of these people who are SO incredibly distraught over the fact that BoM is going to kill the applier system for the most part.

I definitely think memory management is part of it. I don't have a SEVERE issue with it for the first... Hour or so of playing (unless I'm running OBS at the same time, then it's just a mess.) but after being logged in for a bit longer than that I either become very slow to rez or load anything and run at about 10-15FPS, or the whole thing just freezes up and I end up having to shut down my entire computer just to get FS to close. I haven't had that 2nd issue with the SL LL viewer, but I have had the first one. Not sure the problem is ONLY attributed to memory management though. I'm beginning to think that we took an already somewhat unstable piece of software and combined it with another piece of unstable software to just get a mess. I have issues in other high memory/high cpu programs like photoshop. Hard to blame it on FS or LL when I generally think it's Apple that screwed it all up to begin with. If only downgrading to Sierra was an option.

I've had a terrible time with both LL viewer and Firestorm viewers both. I'll admit that SL hasn't always run the best on my computer, but there have been major major major lag spikes that make both viewers pretty un-usable. I had no problem on Sierra, upgrading to High Sierra has caused this problem with other stuff too. Quite disappointing.
