I do notice that frame rate is a lot less variable run on a "real server", in this case a Mac Pro in my home office. But the VPS was tempting for its much higher network speed compared to my home 30 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up.
I am curious what server sizes and set ups people generally find good enough for say up to 40 avatars on a region and up to 40K prims. The Mac Pro is overkill in memory and compute power but I wonder about bandwidth needed. - s On Fri, Oct 4, 2013 at 5:46 PM, Serendipity Seraph <[email protected]>wrote: > Thanks James but.. > > I know there are not multiple flavors.
