I decided to split my last post in two... This is wonderful information and advice about how to reduce lag while surfing. I am sure it will help in any lag-ful situtation. I received it in a notecard from Keala Mimistrobell this morning in preparation for tomorrow's surf competition. It was posted to their website and written by Malcolm Sydney:
Reducing Lag for surfing
April 11th, 2007
The following are some suggestions to help you reduce lag with surfing during surf competitons:
1. Detach all items that use scripts (AO’s, jewelry with bling, wings, etc.). Spectators can do this too to help.
2. Turn off streaming audio and video if on.
3. Change your group title to none.
4. Change your preferences (you may not need to do all of these, just the ones you can live with):
1. General tab
1. Change ‘Show Names’ to ‘Never’ (you can turn this back on when you finish surfing)
2. Select ‘Hide My Name On My Screen’
3. Select ‘Hide My Group Title’
2. Network tab
1. Set your Disk Cache Size (MB) to less than 500 MB.
2. Click ‘Clear Cache’ and relog.
3. Graphics Detail tab
1. Deselect ‘Enable Bumpmapping and Shiny’
2. Deselect ‘Enable Ripple Water’
3. Select ‘Normal’ for ‘Avatar Rendering’
4. Select ‘Sun and moon only’
5. Select ‘Low’ for ‘Terrain Detail’
6. Move the slide bar for ‘Object Mesh’, ‘Flexible Mesh’, ‘Tree Mesh’, and ‘Avatar Mesh’ to the far left.
4. Adv. Graphics tab
1. Deselect ‘Anisotropic Filtering (slower when enabled)’
5. Audio & Video tab (I don’t recommend doing this)
1. Move all the slide bars to the far left. Remember to move these back after you surf.

Just to be really clear, I didn't write this. Give credit where it is due, it was written by Malcom and can also be found here: http://blog.namikosurf.com/2007/04/
