[Opensim-dev] Lively

[Dickson, Mike (ISS Software)]

Except of course that prim attachments still need to be accounted for somewhere and most likely in the region the avatar is in.  In general I agree though that pushing more of the housekeeping and rendering to the client makes sense.

Great idea! Actually even today the appearance is baked in the client
and sent to the server. The server supplies only the wearables and textures.
I think it would not be a big change of client or general architecture
to persist wearables and associated textures on the client, until the
clothing is explicitly changed by the user.
