Avatar validation takes a long time | Avatars with some animations cause performance issues

Bug 1: Delays with avatar loading (being almost 3 times as long and people with no ik)
Bug 2: Huge performance drops on avatars with animations is STILL a issue and was not fixed at all between builds
Edit: Administrator edited the title and body of the post for clarity and separated the two issues reported here. In the future, please report separate issues with seperate Canny posts.

Avatar validation time greatly mitigated as of 2019.3.1.
If the second issue "avatars with some animations cause performance issues" is still present (and not addressed in another post) please open a new Feedback post.

in progress
Avatar loading after download is complete has been reduced to below one second in most cases in VRChat 2019.3.1, which is now in Open Beta.
This is, of course, assuming the download completes successfully with no issues, and the avatar is not exceedingly complex/badly performing/etc.

Still having this issue. When its only me in an empty room, when its 4 people in a room, my ping would be fine but randomly some avatars refuse to load.

Tupper - VRChat Head of Community: while I could not reproduce the slow avatar loading issue except within an hour of playing the game, i did collect the output log for the slooooow map loadtimes. Though theres a 30% chance its my horrible satelite internet... https://pastebin.com/DAiFFuSW

Tupper - VRChat Head of Community: finally reproduced the issue of slow avatar loading. There was only me and one friend in the room. https://pastebin.com/QLEqi6TT

There were some improvements to avatar validation/load time in 2019.1.1. I won't close this yet, but it should be markedly improved.

Have you been able to track this down at all? Do you have a reproducible case?
We would be most interested in seeing a situation where it is reproducible when:
- You are the only user in a room
- Your framerate is far lower than expected
Please reproduce this case and provide:
Avatar ID that you were wearing
World ID that you were in
Full hardware specs (from Speccy for example)
Output log
Since this information contains somewhat sensitive info please email it to support@vrchat.com and link this Canny post.

some performace gain from the ik revert but overall performance is still not up to par to what it was on first release of 2017

Avatars are still taking a long time to load even after the IK optimization reverts.

bassicly performance in general is just terrible now and worse then even pre 2017
