For one, as Jim Helman stated, you need IRIX5.3 to run Performer 2.0. If you
have IRIX 4.x, then you should definitely upgrade. The release notes give a
whole bunch of reasons. IRIX5.3 offers the advantage of DSOs over 5.2 and any
earlier version of IRIX. I don't know what else there is, but I would suggest
IRIX 5.3 as a general improvement.
