Hello, I've recently started driving my OpenSim 0.7.2 with the OpenMetaverse 0.9.1. The network I use is a dedicated 10/100Mbps switch with less than 10 meters of cable between the OS server-side and the OM client(s)-side.
Question: has anyone noticed that the OS server-side can be overwhelmed quite easily (>6 avatars) if they all enter at the same time (<1sec)? Does anyone know the "fix" or "config" remedy? Detail: On the other hand, I have no trouble supporting +25 avatars if I start them one at a time and let each one completely rez. Moreover, my OS host (16 core dual-Xeon) has demonstrated the ability to reliably render +12 of the +25 avatars playing independent animations quite easily.
