[Opensim-dev] What I've Learned About AvatarAppearance

[Mic Bowman]

persisting them doesn't really hurt. and in some cases makes things much
better even when the client can regenerate them. the current 1.23 viewers
use six packets to set visual params, setting a batch in each packet (i
should say that i see six packets for all of the avatar i have tested). the
existing opensim implementation sends out the updated appearance every time
one of those packets arrives. that implementation can be fixed, but right
now the "cost" of recomputing visual params every time is pretty high.
