[Opensim-dev] weird idea #1: lightweight agent/ spectator

[Nebadon Izumi]

Minor mistake in my last posting, it should have read (8000 variously
texture prims in the ballpark of about 500+ texures or so).

and since i am recommenting again, i think its important that when we talk
about 1000 users, we are not talking about 1000 ruths with zero inventory
and not chatting and doing real world things, pcampbot is a horrible
representaion of 1000 like i said before every 1000 pcampbots is probably
not even equal to 20 real world avatars actually doing something with the
simulator.
