[Opensim-dev] WARNING: r9562 may break things

[Melanie]

Hello,

I prefer to keep the handlers separate. If it weren't for your 
testing requirements, they would be part of the exe.
As these implementations grow, things tend to bulk up. Eventually, 
we would wind up with a juggernaut of a DLL, like OpenSim.Framework, 
which is wasting memory and cycles to load and access. I am 
attempting to write these servers to not only be lean in source, 
abut also in object code. This means not loading methods not needed 
for a certain server. The User server has no need of the asset 
handlers, why should it load them? Waste of bytes, waste of cycles, 
not clean at all. Also, it makes breaking out one server into a 
subproject or a forge project that much harder, as stuff would need 
to be cut back out of the huge DLL. I believe this is the better 
way, and where does the number of small projects really matter? I 
believe I have heard either you or Justin say we should have more 
functionality borken up into individual DLLs, and that means more 
and smaller projects.
