Users and scripts perception of regions health based on "facial values" of some of those stats was made before OpenSim. Values were not scaled because it was funny. Its was needed, possible because viewers then needed it, ported content need it, and Users minds needed it. And this was maintained for all this years. Forcing the change of contents and user minds changing pure scale factor now serves no valid purpose.
Also those metrics displayed on viewers aren't truly "true" outside the system where they designed to profile. Even with our best efforts to make them give some valid qualitative information. Other statistics were added to better profile OpenSim performance.

We are not that other grid and should never pretend to be. Had figures been reported correctly in the beginning then there would be no confusion now surrounding this subject. However avoiding confusion is a poor reason to roll back and once again report the artificially inflated values. It is better to simply educate and make it clear that the value of 11fps is indeed the correct value to expect, and is in fact the true value things always have ran at despite what any inflated reported value said. It is true that many scripts and tools have already been written to use the inflated values but they can all be changed with relative ease. The viewers already have many aspects that are different for Open Simulator so they can be changed easily as well for new versions also with relative ease. All we need to do as a community is establish what the correct and expected values are and then document and communicate them. As a user, scripter, tool developer, and grid manager, I for one want to see true and accurate values for any and all metrics regardless of where they are shown or how they may be used. I therefore am firmly against rolling back to any older artificially inflated values.
