[Opensim-dev] Stop saving SculptData in serialized SceneObjects

[Mike Higgins]

Ha! I submitted a mantis about this "rare case" once: 
http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=6080

I textured branches and  leaves on a twisted sculpt tree, and then had 
the trees grow up from a sapling (resize once a second) and this brought 
OpenSim to its knees (SIM FPS drops to near zero). I found that a helix 
(a twisted torus prim) had the same problem. I 'solved' the problem by 
having the trees change only to integer quantized sizes. I assume this 
worked because someone (viewer or sim) cashed the sculpt data at each 
different size and now there is only a finite number of sizes...
