#### Lag in Decorate Mode

I'm kind of sad right now, because I just finished fully expanding my tower, but I can't decorate it because Decorate Mode is too laggy! Wall coverings will only load if you apply them one section at a time (won't load the preview/image if you try to apply a whole wall at once), and only after a delay of at least 10 seconds. Each. Ceilings wouldn't load at all. I mentioned it in Global, and I'm not the only one who's been experiencing this. Any explanations/insights into how long this will last or things I can do to improve performance?
Thank you!

- Hi! I experience less lag in decorate mode when (aside from things like restarting my browser/computer and having less tabs open) I have less furniture in my inventory. If you have a bunch you may want to drop off some in your home? (I know, this can be less than helpful suggestion because you might want to actually *decorate using* your furniture in decorate mode...! But if you have a ton of extra pieces sitting around you could try it and see if it helps.)

- I have exactly 1 piece of furniture in my inventory, so that doesn't seem to be the problem for me. I haven't even gotten to the point of thinking about furniture, because I haven't been able to get my wall coverings up!

- Do you get lag when visiting other people's houses or towers? Maybe it's just a slow connection. If you try this page, it'll show some numbers in milliseconds (ms) and if they're in the thousands, that could be an issue: www.glitch.com/help/test/

- TomC - the lag I'm experiencing is only noticeable in decorate mode. However, I did run that test, and two of the "game server" numbers came out in the thousands. Everything else was in the tens or hundreds. Perhaps is it just a slow connection.

- Same problem. Lag only occurs in decorate mode, lasts for a minute after I leave it, though. I can't change wall, floor or ceiling designs.

- Flash crashes on me practically every time I exit deco mode. It's been a real battle trying to get my house and tower decorated, and I'm more inclined to just leave it be then fuss with it a lot because I know I'll have to restart Chrome (have also tried Firefox and Safari with same result) every time I do. Anyone else have this problem?

- Same here. However, I think my problem (not sure about others) is a flash issue. I have a terrible lag issue with floors and ceilings!!!
