I went looking for that last week. It really is better in Firestorm 7.1.11 than it was in 7.1.9. Avatars stuck in cloud mode at crowded clubs are now rare, but not nonexistent. 1 or 2 broken avatars out of 60 to 70 at the busiest clubs and London City. Relogging shows me different broken avatars, so that's an attachment loading problem for observing viewers, not a problem on the avatar owner's side.
Relogging helps distinguish between attachment loading problems, user-side wardrobe malfunctions, and people being nude on purpose, all of which can be seen at WelcomeHub.

There's been more noise lately that there is server-induced lag, either new or returned since the server release earlier this year. I want to capture those reports in this issue as they suggest regressions or missed factors. But I suspect many of these will actually be viewer-induced problems. We've already identified a number of prioritization problems with avatar content in the viewer and improvements are showing up in 'develop'. Unfortunately, we're also finding coding decisions that make it challenging to approach a theoretical ideal such as: https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/issues/3223 (There's the bug itself as well as having sequential queuing systems which make re-ordering very difficult.)
But viewer issues will get sorted elsewhere. Really want the server candidates here and I'll try to sort out the server from the viewer where the guilty party isn't obvious.
