It took the new Second Life viewer 3 times as long to rez in builds -- sculpties were a real problem. In addition, once fully rezzed in, I found myself unable to move at high settings for a while, while Phoenix allows me to run ultra graphics at a maximum distance with no problems.
I actually plan to run some tests and will report numbers here. I am not ready to givc up on the new Second Life viewer, since it looks so cool and can be customized. Perhaps I am not doing something right, and need to clear everything for a fresh install -- but as things are now, I am sticking with plain old Phoenix with its great light settings for my photography.
I actually used the SL viewer last night and was surprised when I got an online viewer message that there was an update so I proceeded to close out and let that update load. I had already seen reviews and screenshots for the latest so I was curious myself. Once viewer 3.2 loaded the first thing that I really liked was the overall clean look of the new user interface and how it can be customized even more. I did not experience lag issues, but I always tell friends to experiment and try other viewers because "Your Mileage May Vary" I will still stick with using the Phoenix & Firestorm viewers, but this will be a nice alternative once I get in a "kick the tires"
