Exactly. Thanks Jason. In my working copy I've removed the setNumChildrenRequiringUpdateTraversal call and ON_DEMAND rendering in osgViewer works again. I would not propose this as a fix because it probably broke something else and so that's why I'd like to see why this change was included and investigate if there is another feasible solution that allows ON_DEMAND functionality to continue to work like it did before rev 11307.

Hi Robert, Brad is talking about OSG's ON_DEMAND mode to (osgviewer --run-on-demand). The setting of the setNumChildrenRequiringUpdateTraversal to get an update traversal in osgTerrain (as well in osgEarth) causes the frameloop to run continuously instead of only when something changes. So even if you're sitting still and nothing needs paged in and no tiles need processed in the osgTerrain::Terrain's update callback the frameloop still runs as fast as it can.
