The way I understand it isn't the way it is and maybe not the way its going to be, yet my vision is simple:
Let each avatar 'buy' server memory usage (kind like how they buy land usage now). Guarantee each avatar can have the max memory usage in any sim no matter what condition. If that means the top 50 avatars with the most memory allocation meet up in a single sim, then it should handle it. The way the sims are designed now, it won't handle it with or without those limits as Babbage expressed and how this thread evolves. The only way it could handle it if is simulator become disassociated with CPU affinity such that a single simulator may actually execute across several CPUs/machine/networks all at the same time. Obviously the main limitation here that keeps simulators tied to CPU affinity is physics -- not memory usage.
