- "Sensors are fairly expensive and inefficient as unless you specify a scan with a given key, they must do a linear search of all of the specified entity types in the scene (region). In other words, if you ask for avatars in an area, it must test all avatars in the region, or if you ask for objects it must test all of the objects. These searches also require exclusive access to the region entities, so only one can happen at a time and anything else that needs access must wait (physics, avatar movement, etc.).
