Very lightest (on system resources) SL client for the PC?

If I wanted to run an ALT for positioning purposes (say getting a pose lined up, or making prim jewelry or prim cloths)

What's the very lightest SL Client I can run on my PC alongside the official viewer.

I have tried running 2 instances of the main viewer with the -multiple method, but my PC is not happy doing this.

If I resize both windows it does work, but take a long time sorting itself out.

SP perhaps there's a better alternative which I can try running at the same time?

Of course visual quality can be at it's very minimum for the Alts settings.

Cheers

There are a couple things you can try with the LL viewer to make multiple copies run better.

In the Task Manager, set the priority of the Alt's viewer lower. Also if you have a multi-core CPU, you can set the processor affinity for each viewer, putting each one on its own core.

As far as lighter viewers, the Nicholaz Old School viewer is probably the lightest one. It's based on the 1.18 source.

Thanks.

Should they share the same cache or should I set different Caches ?

I'd run the BETA client for my main Avatar and the older release version for the Alt.

hey!

i have my crashtestdummy running with coolviewer v1.20.17 (v1.19.05)
ive set up another cachefolder - cache is set to 250mb and drawdistance low - 128 meters
works fine for me.

If you just need a static alt you don't need a full viewer. How about ajaxlife.net?
