Why are the worlds rendering so slowly?
There are a variety of factors which influence frame rate. Virtual Messenger is a very CPU intensive application. For best performance, it should be the only high resource consumer application running on your system when you enter a VM world or you may notice severe performance degradation. If you find that sometimes the program runs smoothly while other times it is choppy, you probably have another program competing for CPU time. You can find out if you have another program eating up your systems resources, you can use the Windows Task Manager (available on Windows 2000 and above) to identify the competing application. If you have an old computer and VM consistently runs slowly it is probably due to your hardware. Either your computer has a slow processor, or you have an out-of-date or incompatible video card. We recommend upgrading your hardware, a new video card would enhance the performance of Virtual Messenger and any other 3D applications on your system dramatically.
