can't really say at this point in time. what we have been seeing is that even
after avatars/bots have gotten hold of the textures the load on the machine
stays pretty high (4 core machine, 32bit). a faster machine will certainly help.

also, we've only touched on a small part of OpenSim so far --- and haven't even
done a test with 40 "real" avatars yet.
