Crashing out, slow rezz, slow load, etc.  I went back to the Release 1.0.2.2451 and the only two issues I'm currently having is my inventory doesn't fully load about half the time and I crash out when I have the upload window open too long when looking for files on my pc.  Something seems to have changed along the way.

A couple of comments:
1.  You don't need to compile your own viewer to help in this way. 
Older versions are available here:
https://lists.secondlife.com/pipermail/sldev-commits/2009-July/date.html

Look for the mails that say "successful build"

2.  It's best to look through the full history, not just the
doc/contributions.txt list as Carlo wrote:

While some of the commits are clearly not problematic (e.g. CG's test
commits late in the game), there was a big change at r2486 that very
well might be the culprit, but would be missed by looking at
contributions.txt.
