How to enter the scene with VorpX: After starting VorpX and logging in, bring up the VorpX “Settings” menu by pressing “Delete” key. In “Main Settings”, turn off “Virtual Cinema Mode” and press OK. Then zoom in with mouse wheel till you snap into mouselook.

I use a connection with 50 Mbps downstream here in Central Europe. The distance to next CDN server is about 250 miles (400 km). I can connect to the city where that server is located with 47 Mbps down and 9 upstream and a 25 ms ping time. I checked that on a speedtest site. The transatlantic connection was much slower. Ping time to Phoenix server is about 190 ms and the bandwidth varied in a wide range. I tried the CDN improvement with Second Life viewer, Firestorm, Singularity and Alchemy, it works great on all of them. I didn't have any of the issues mentioned in this thread. Second Life and Alchemy viewer already support http pipelining feature and that makes them even a bit faster, but the CDN improvement also works on viewers without http pipelining.

With CDN I notice a huge performance improvement here in Central Europe! Much faster loading! Almost like instant rezz! And http pipelining even adds a bit more speed on top. Finally I can visit large stores and crowded concerts again without getting frustrated. I also noticed the marketplace improvements. Marketplace is usable again for me and I enjoy it again. And group chat recovered from a state of disaster. It actually works well now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! : ) Till now I didn't notice any new issues caused through the changes. I do notice that the viewers that use project interesting list features rather feel like a step back now: When I look around fast in a big store, and go back to a corner I was before, textures that already had rezzed before have gone completely blurry again and need to rezz fully again. That does not happen with singularity viewer (for example) which apparently does not have the interesting list features.
