I see this is an old topic but I happened up on it and I have something to add I did not go to a mesh body until 2019. I did not like how long it took mesh bodied people to load in. I never had issues with classic avatars unless the people were wearing a lot of armor and weapons and such. So, I decided to join the laggy mess of mesh people. I got my mesh head just several months ago (2020) and at that time I saw the maitreya petite addon, so I got that too. I have always been very unhappy in how that I arrive somewhere and body parts are flying all around, heads, teeth, arms, legs, clothing, etc... and some never load in at all, so here are these body parts that fly all around the whole time I am present and others take a long time to load in. Some mesh clothing takes forever to load in, so I stand in the middle of partly rezzed naked bodies. Mesh people have caused me more lag than classic avatars ever did. I was surprised to hear people saying it is the classic avatars and everyone should go mesh to help get rid of lag. I have friends who have issues with the mesh bodies and not with classic avatars. And I am not living SL life with jelly bodies all around me either hahaha With the mesh body and outfits, I dont dare change clothes out in public. The layers often load incorrectly onto my mesh body and I have to take off and put back on to get the layers in order. This has left me standing in the middle of a crowd with the big maitreya boobs hanging out of the top of my shirt until I am able to take off the petite addon and put it on again. And I have to do this with face products to get them on with layers in order, so they show up. This past week, finally just truly sick and tired of the mesh body, and even though I realize it will not help the issue because all others are going to remain with mesh bodies, I took myself back to the classic avatar. She is wearing a bit of what I see called bom layers. Her complexity is showing at 16,666 with a one rank, whatever that means. With the mesh body, she ran around 25k to 35k with that one rank and some clothes seems to take her up to 60k and I am a very dressed down person compared to the majority in SL. I am not finding the reading of the complexity to matter when it comes to laggy areas. There are three people who come to one place I go to and every time those three mesh bodies with mesh heads show up, I just about cannot function at all because of the lag they bring with them and their complexity is around 50k and 60k. I was able to obtain a face pretty close to my real life face with my classic avi, whereas I have not been able to do that with my mesh head. My mesh head is too prim proper perfect with her perfect little sissy face and fat, pouty lips that cannot be altered in a way fitting to me hahaha I hate that head hahaha Lelutka.Nova. I do miss having the small maitreya petite boobs but at least I dont have to worry about the big maitreya boobs hanging out because the outfit doesnt load in proper order. I may wear my mesh body and head some time later on, maybe. I dont know. There are imperfections with my classic avi.The hands are ugly and slink hands will not seam up right and flicker. The feet are ugly when I cannot wear my slink feet with dresses or shorts because that seam has an open space in it and I have tried to work on this for hours and hours and days and days and I am sick of trying, so forget it. The body skin has a dark ring around the upper pelvis area and I have tried many classic skins and they all do this. BUT I like my classic avatar. It is all the mesh bodies, heads and body parts that cause my firestorm and SL viewers to have issues. Put me in a sim of classic avis and all runs pretty well, far better than when all of this mess came out with mesh bodies and heads. I have found the mesh bodies and heads to be laggy and overrated. I just wanted to put my two cents in with this thread. Nobody is going to convince me that the complexity number necessarily tells if an avi is laggy and that classic avatars are more laggy than mesh avatars, because I experience otherwise

I keep goin through my preferences and Firestome 4.4.2 (34167 is suckin big time! I wasnt havin any issues until now and the only download I can find is this stinking beta -- This has been dreadful - I am searching for some other client than Firestorm. Every time I search to find answers - all I see are long ago outdated post made about their issues. This version of Firestorm is taking forever to even open up so I can log in - initializing crap!! And then once I am in, I have to click on everything around me so it will rezz up -- OR -- I log in and everything is gray and takes forever to rezz up. I hate this client!

i do not like viewer 2. i do not like how big the camera control box is now. i prefer the smaller one like the blue one. i do not like that i do not seem to be able to leave it out all of the time like the blue one but being as it is so darn big i wouldnt want it out anyhow. i cant stand using it in viewer 2. i cant stand how to edit and click creator name then little box opens i have to choose profile. i havent yet been able to figure how to minimize one profile and open another. i have not figured how to open two or more profiles either. only one. i have not figured how to search for groups or shops except to go to my dashboard and search using the external page and i hate this. today in viewer 2 i created a new folder of which i could never rename. i had to go into the other viewer to name the darn thing. while i was in the other viewer, i realized just how much i do so detest viewer 2 and so i pulled my shortcut to the other viewer from the folder i had it in, put it on my desktop, cut the viewer 2 shortcut and put it in the folder i have of progams i hate haha i also do not like how switching back and forth between viewers, i have to reset my preferences every single time. i will remain in my old viewer until i am forced to use viewer 2. i cannot stand viewer 2 period.

i have been creating support tickets on this issue. support is useless. they continue to repeat a same solution and closing the ticket as solved when their solution is not working and the issue is not solved. support is about worthless. this issue took place a couple of years ago and secondlife did finally fix the issue after we all tolerated it for a very long time before they would even stop to consider that it is an issue on their end. after they finally got their heads out of their butts and realized that the issue was on their end, they did fix the problem. SO UNTIL these current people get their heads out of their butts and realize the issue is on their end, we most likely have to contend with it. below, i will place their solution. you can try it. it does not work for me. AND at the end of this, it does state: If you have any further queries, then please do not hesitate to contact us. BUT I WARN YOU THEY ARE USELESS AND WILL REPEAT SAME SOLUTION THAT DOES NOT WORK!!
