[sldev] Why is framerate so much lower in my viewer builds?

[Ambrosia]

The big lib that tends to get put in from the LL-releases that boosts
performance is lldku.dll (and/or whatever the Linux version uses.
lldku.so?). Just copy that one into your viewer's main folder and try
again. We can only hope that one day libjpeg will be on par in speed.
