Now, I like Firestorm, but I don't like being forced to use any particular viewer because of my lame ISP.
Why do I use sl_proxy? Because of the texture cache. I have limited bandwidth and slower network speeds than most people. Since textures don't change, I want to be able to keep them locally. If I can do that, then I can load them quickly if I revisit a place I've been to before.
The other day, I was browsing around and came across this article and decided to try it out. So far, it's working great! And it seems much faster than sl_proxy. The big test comes with Mesh, tho. I have had nothing but trouble trying to see mesh with sl_proxy. I can see it fine when I connect directly.
RealLife's been too busy for me to really test it yet. So, I'll update this post once I have a chance to see someone decked out in a mesh avatar.
