The Windlight Second Life viewer renders beautifully but it can be a real struggle to get good performance from the client such that Second Life does not slow to a painful crawl. This post from Torley Linden is excellent for helping demystify the new graphics tab. The additional diagnostic tools, 'lag meter' and 'statistics', that come with the Windlight viewer make adjusting settings a breeze. There are visual indicators for client, network or server issues, and allowing one to actually monitor FPS in real-time makes the impact of each change in the graphics settings tab visible on the frame rate and easy to monitor.
