Minimum 10 per second, all viewers, all the time. Just plug in 
WinGridProxy, check AgentUpdate, and observe. Dahlia says that she 
observed higher rates; I haven't, which is not to say that higher rates 
don't happen.

10/sec is coded deep down in LL code, and it has been there as far as 
mercurial history shows, which is 11/2007.
I believed Dahlia's view that this is intentional until I looked at the 
code.The way that code is written leads me to believe that this is an 
oversight that has been left there by mistake. I hope someone at Linden 
Lab really looks into this. So far, the feedback on the bug report 
hasn't been that much.
