Also, "first comes wins" is completely out of the picture here. The "bidding" is really just a priority, equal to the (additive) inverse of the percentage used (of their fair share). The result will be that in the maximum loaded case everyone gets the same percentage (100% of what they are entitled to), while at a lesser load everyone (who tries still gets the same percentage (ie, 130%), while others that don't want script memory would voluntary stay at 70%.
It's a very good and honest system. Still need to build in a little hysteresis to avoid it being instable, but those are minor technical details that can be solved once the Lindens agree that this is more fair and less of a waste of resources.
