But in your example, the script uses the max of the sim til the avatar comes in. The script will crash, as the avatar takes his own share of memory, and the script suddenly has less than it actually uses (not what it -could- use but doesn't).
Scripts -will- be able to check available memory, that much has been stated, and they reserve additional memory they need with another function, but that available memory should not depend on factors of what's going on outside the parcel or on other avatars aside of the own. Quite frankly, the only thing that makes sense for scripters and content creators are hard numbers they can work with. Fixed memory amounts. Every 512sqm parcel should always (normally) support X mb max. Every avatar should normally support Y mb max. A solid api to build scripts upon. Available memory depends on the scripts already attached to the -same- avatar or on the -same- parcel, but a parcel's or avatar's memory should -not- be dependant in any way on external factors like other avatars or parcels. It makes things unreliable, unpredictable.
