Whereas a normal rug is made by taking a texture and applying to the face of a prim- which is naturally smooth, you can warp a mesh prim to make the wrinkles and gathers in your rug, in 3D.
Mesh has 2 measurements wheres as normal prims items when edited have 1- prim count. Mesh items have "Prims", and "Land effect" or "Cost" .
These two rugs say PRIMS- 1. but under land affect they say COST- 14 and COST 16! I never thought to look at the rugs, I dilligently checked the furniture, but it never dawned on me that someone would make a 14 prim rug.. would you?
I am certain there is a fix for this- if any Blender gurus or Mesh professors are reading, please comment!

I have learned with MESH that resizes, the prim load is exponential- a 1 prim rug, made 4 times larger, is now 16 prims!
