I haven't seen the discussion here about the FirstLook viewer being slow at loading textures. The standard viewer may have a lower frame rate but, when you teleport into an area, you can see what's going on and don't have to wait for 60+ seconds to get readable textures.

How do others deal with this, I guess, "feature" of the FirstLook viewer? Do other people notice this "feature"?

It comes and goes.

What's annoying is that we used to be able to allocate simply insane amounts of cache to FL and get multiple sims worth of textures cached, but they nerfed that because they claimed it slowed things down. Not that I noticed it didn't, maybe it did compared to being on the Linden LAN. :p
