Well, yes, the 'local' feature when trying textures is faster; however it doesn't replace at all the ability to build with someone else, which, even if you are not a professional, is simply one of the big pleasures SL was able to offer. I don't know to what extend baking was a problem for others before SSB, it was not for me; now I just see that changing clothes, simple thing, takes a much longer time, and that it takes also longer for others AVs to bake when I arrive in some new place. So far... I just don't see any positive change with SSB, and for sure, the loss of temp textures is a regression. I do hope it will be restored in the near future... I didn't mind much having to relog once in a while for 'cloud' reasons, the ability to collaborate and have fun building together is way more important... Since this one was not advertised much, now I wonder what other regressions SSB will bring ?
