But it might help faster rezzing, especially if sim is making a temporar local copy of the assets of some items. Younger than avatar you or human you? :)

If enabled, that is. :) And recently the inventory moved off to caps as well. Which is a client-side brother of this server-side change. Indeed, this will not necessarily help to increase the number of avatars per sim, but will maybe help with the missing inventory....

But improving it will take a step more complicated than this. Hopefully AWG will come up with something. Scalability will be the thing that will keep this world going on or bury it into history.

And even though certain scripts can be almost halted when no avatar is around where they are targeted on, other scripts like vendor-servers etc. would be badly affected. Still I think scalability is dearly needed. Yes, at least in the second part of my post we talked about different things :-)

I don't believe this move will make possible more avatars per sim. But borrowing resources from nearby empty sims sounds like a nice idea. We’re talking different things here.

I hope this new system (and see the advantages larger than the disadvantages) is the first step to truly make the grid scalable and hopefully a bit more redundant too. Also sims itself should spread across PC (or "server") boundaries. Momentarily crowded or generally popular sims should automatically allocate more processing power, where empty sims could automatically be slowed down.
