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
Draw Distance 152m to 170m
Particle Count 4096 minimum; 7168 maximum
Local Lights = Maximum
"Sounds" volume slider = Maximum
Avatar Impostors = CHECKED

Advanced Settings:
-----------------------

Lighting & Shadows OFF
Global Illumination OFF
Water Reflections MINIMAL
Post Process Quality = High
Objects & Sculpts LOD = High (4.0)

Optional Settings:
---------------------

"Music", "Media" and "Voice" volume sliders = Minimum
Speaker volume = High
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.
