The issue here is the so-called "lag meter". Since removal of the multiplier, this reports all opensim regions as laggy, without exception. Users' trust in the "lag meter" is damaging OpenSim reputation. This is not a value that is merely for display; the viewer uses this value for computations that are then used to "judge" a sim to be "laggy" if it's below 35 or so fps. OpenSim now always reports a lesser value. This is damaging and needs to be made configurable and by default match the viewer's expectations.
