Anyone esle agree that the first look veiwer on the mac whne it was first released worked wonders, with hardly any jumping while turning kleft and right, but over the last few months its got worst and worst each update and now is as bad if worst than the main viewer for mac?? and why is it now up to 66MB in size. whats all the extra baggage man???

I've begun to wonder just a bit myself. I tried the multithreaded Open GL... and it didn't do anything. I expected something, but.. nothing happened at all. I'm just kinda curious.

At first it was GREAT! It made me want to come inworld again. I mean, some of the stuff I saw--it was as if I'd never been inworld before. Now, it's worse than the main viewer. :(

It was awesome....

On my Macbook Pro i was getting a jump from 15 to 25 FPS. Over time with new releases its gone down and down and i barely get 10 FPS improvement now. Still most areas i hang around I can get 20 - 40 FPS. I stay away from the badly made places where they never took into account their building, scripts, and textures to performance.
