I threw this at a pretty modest CPU, an Athlon II 170u single core dealie, and the difference there was pretty substantial. Under Linux, HTTP texture loads went from slightly sluggish, to feeling about the same as with them switched off.
On Windows 7, the difference was much more dramatic. Mainstream viewers have been painful and jerky for a long time on that machine even with HTTP textures off. This viewer is running firmly on the "I can live with this" side, even with HTTP textures enabled. Flying around in some heavily built areas was even tolerable. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
