dont scratch your head. really. my standards are pretty clean and simple. if the software works without any lag in version 1.23.5, and then 2.4 is loaded and lag is, and, no joke, 3-5 second response to movement events, and then you go back immediately to 1.23.5 and the lag is gone..then yes, its not ready for primetime. i assume there's some video card compatibility issues at play, but i'll wait around for a few more iterations of the software.
Like Darien pointed out, this is likely to happen when switching viewers. New cache, and it possibly took you back to some default preferences as well, if you use custom ones in 1.23.
Is the lag any worse after spending some time on it, logging out and starting multiple sessions? Or did you not bother to try that?
Deleting your cache, uninstalling 1.23.5, and reinstalling 1.23.5 and launching it would likely give you similar results. Biggest reason you get no lag on 1.23.5 is because it has stuff stored in memory. A beta won't have that the first time you run it.
