Mono is currently using about 5% of my CPU with 1 user logged in (me) and I had forgot it's still running. Wonderland would eat up about 50% and jump higher than that with it's client. This ain't bad! If a new version of mono will improve opensim even more, that's great news. It just blows my mind to be running .exe anything. So, I haven't optimized my kernel, as a server boxen, just running plain-jane Ubuntu 10.4 32 bit. If I wanted to create a dedicated opensim server, I can just dump the overhead of the desktop completely and run it command line and burn a lean/mean kernel. So, there is plenty of room for improvement. Have you gone this route yet??
