Insaniac, I think the lag is caused by scripts in the stuff people are wearing. It is so hard to find modifiable clothes these days, no matter if they are prims or sculpts. A resizer don't make the things modifiable, only resizeable.
I bet that 99 of 100 avatars don't delete the scripts in their clothes/hair/boots/jewlery after they adjusted it. And why should they do it, because then they can never resize it again if they decide to change shape? The alternative is to take a copy of every single part, create a new folder and name it backup copy and honestly... that's too much work for your average avatar. Then they walk around and complain about lag. Honey,,.. YOU are the lag.
I am so grateful for all who sell modifiable things, they save me all that work about making backup copies. This outfit has modifieable hair from Truth, modifiable jacket from Mr.Poet, unscripted earrings, a single low lag script in the prim nails to lock the hands, and boots where I deleted the scripts. I also use an AO that don't use a lot of script memory and stopped to use Mystitool, since that is really packed with scripts. Oops, my lashes look like I had a mascara accident. :smileywink:
