Windlight performance; was: [sldev] branches/shadow-draft missing llrender.cpp

I don't understand what "WL" and "Pre-WL" means here.  Are you using two 
different versions of the viewer?  If so, which?  Do you take the 
default settings for both?  How do those settings compare?  Is the 
difference just because the defaults changed?
