I set 0.05.
If you have a script that needs a 0.1 second timer I hope that is
only for short periods of time.
I need short time frames for visually smooth interaction, both with
externally and internally clocked events. Example of external events

Here, I'm throttling at 20ms. Lag in human interaction devices is
extremly frustrating. You overshoot, then undershoot the desired
value. The closed loop action - visual feedback requires this kind of
speed.
Scripted simulations should give a visual feedback as smooth as
possible for internal clocks also. In-world (prim) controllers
relying on a continous flow of touch() event are throttled at 50ms.
Higher throttle would result in jerky movement.
This is an experimental grid and I don't care high runtimes. We have
astronomy simulations where visitors control telescopes and
spectrometers, and some nuclear labs for school, and nobody lags up
to now.
Unfortunately, I can't afford Windows servers so I have to deal with
MONO jitterish clock. That was a surprise to me to discover the
difference.
Not all grids are social/residential. OpenSim should not be
restricted to this framework. It is desirable to push the limits.
They may be higher that you think.
