Well, that was just my impression, but my experience with
post-llMediaPlugin-merge viewers (with and without the hack patch) is
still rather limited (I recently don't have a lot of spare time to spend
inworld) and thus probably far from representative.

Maybe it is. I just know that with a viewer I've built after the merge I
crashed within the first 10 minutes after logging in (which was like ...
twice or trice. And it was more like Snowgobe froze to death than a real
crash). Seeing that the viewer was complaining a lot about the missing
d2114404-dd59-4a4d-8e6c-49359e91bbf0 image, I decided to try applying
the patch after which I didn't seem to have these problems anymore.
Obviously, that's significantly better to me, but don't take my use of
the word "significant" here in the meaning it has in statistical testing ;-)

Oh, and by "reduces" I really meant "seems to reduce". I've tried to cut
down relativizations in my written language, because I tend to overuse
them (not a native speaker of English), but looks like I should have
kept it here to avoid wrong impressions. Sorry for the confusion.
