The avatar would not be affected at all. If avatar and object memory use from the same pool too (I'd like that, the more "temporary" memory the better), then such avatar entering a sim where one person is using all avatar memory would just have some of that persons scripts to be stopped, until the first avatar leaves again. That is better than the current situation where EVERY object and avatar grinds to a halt because the server starts swapping. It is also better as the proposed fixed limits, because in that case the first person couldn't even do what he was doing BEFORE that other avatar entered. > There are many people pay top dollar for their fashions in the real > world, and obviously they won't go places that won't support their > outfit.

(I know someone is gonna > argue griefer cases, but bottom line... griefer objects are not avatar.) The system with fixed limits that is about to be implemented by Linden Lab will limit the number of scripts you can run in attachments up to the same point of a fully loaded server. That way you are sure that with the few scripts allowed, you can also enter a full server *cross eyed looked*. Nevertheless... I can understand this reasoning for avatars. The sad side is however that by reserving memory for the full set of avatars (35) EACH loaded with the MAXIMUM number of attachment scripts, just "in case", simply means a huge waste of resources on 99% of the sims 99.9% of the time. All of that precious memory can not be used anymore for objects, ever. So, ... clearly it would be better to DO allow objects to use that memory and only stop them temporarily if their memory is *actually* needed for 35 avatars full with scripted attachments that just entered. -- Carlo Wood <ca...@alinoe.com> _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/SLDev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
