[Opensim-dev] Auditorium for 500

[Nebadon Izumi]

sure the team is more than capable, but I'm not convinced .NET and Mono with
C# will ever be able to perform at a level suitable enough for this kind of
performance, Its not a matter of talent, but more a matter of limitations of
the language we are using to program the simulator, I am not claiming 100%
we wont be able to achieve it, the language is very young and there could be
enhancments to .net and mono in the future that will allow for much higher
performing apps.
