I think this was accidental as I did not realize that nearly every single tree and plant was 1024 resolution texture. High textures can seriously lag a region. But I promise I am re texturing by reducing said textures to 512 and eliminating many of the unnecessary particles. So far it appears to be working well. Just say a little prayer that this fixes the issues. If it doesn't work, we'll try setting the oar down on another region further away from that location. One way or another we'll get it back and better than ever. I'll just have to start paying closer attention to the resolution of the textures on the items I get.
