Important tip for rendering mesh clothing in Second Life

I decided to jump in and buy some mesh clothing today. When I tried to put on my lovely new clothes I could not see them.  I had no idea why so I asked my friends on Plurk and got an answer about what I needed to do within moments.  I have such a great bunch of people on my plurk timeline!  They are always so helpful and seem to know everything about everything.

If you have trouble seeing your mesh items follow this advice from Tymmerie Thorne

If your mesh items disappear, try this:

1. Go to Advanced>Show Debug SettingsPreview

1. Type or paste MeshMaxConcurrentRequest into the dialog box that appears.

1. Set MeshMaxConcurrentRequest to between 75 - 100. 

1. Close the dialog box. 

Once I changed my debug setting I was able to see my beautiful mesh clothes from coldlogic.  I figure I must not be the only person who did not realize the default setting for MesMaxConcurrentRequest is too low to see most mesh clothing items and it would be worth passing this tip along.

Why does LL set the default so low as to make it impossible to render mesh clothing?  I don't really understand but I would be interested to learn.
