Description

Textures are extremely slow to render. This is happening to about myself and a dozen friends of mine. For some reason over the last two weeks textures in SL irregardless of if they are 1k or 2k are taking forever to render a great amount of the time. It also seems to be affecting performance of each viewer as well. I can provide images and video recordings if requested. Clean installing, clearing cache, increasing cache size limits, etc. all do not change the issue.
