The real technology improvement has been going on at InWorldz, which forked off of the Second Life server code about 7 years ago. It's still mostly compatible (you can use any of the same clients, I recommend Firestorm), but they've made a fantastic amount of improvement in performance as well as customer service. I can't remember the last time I had a low frame rate or any lag there. www.inworldz.com
