Viewing tips:
1)Try to come in with as low an avatar rendering cost (ARC) as possible to reduce your lag. System clothes are low ARC or pick up a colorful skin and come just in that. Check out the SL wiki post about arc: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Avatar_Rendering_Cost
Things that add to ARC
  • Prim clothing and attachments
  • Prim shoes/boots
  • Prim hair
  • Excessive use of high resolution textures
  • Animation overriders (AOs) and other attached HUDs, including avatar radars
  • Highly detailed jewelry
2) Take off as many scripted things as possible. You can detach your AO – you’re just gonna be standing around anyway *smiles*. Take off your shoes. Sometimes hair has a ton of scripts – take it off and try a hat or a bandana. There are a ton of scripts involved in these events. The fewer scripts you run, the more processor power is available for the burn.

#3) Set up your viewer for best results:
————————————————-

Force to Sun to Midnight

If your viewer supports “Derendering”, consider derendering various objects at your discretion.
If your viewer supports “Maximum number of avatars”, consider lowering that value for the duration of the Burn.
