[Opensim-dev] MOSES patch submitted (UNCLASSIFIED)

Sat Apr 25 00:59:56 UTC 2015

What do you think about making the multiplier a modifiable variable in
OpenSim.ini?  This will allow anyone who wants to improve performance and
use the stock #'s and in the meantime people can continue to use the code
in a meaningful way without having to rewrite scripts and monitoring tools
to continue testing other code that may be pushed into core, especially if
the end goal is to get statistics to report back at the original numbers?
I am mostly just trying to understand the end goal myself.  If that is not
possible I would suggest this work be moved into a development branch until
we can get statistics back to the normal numbers again?  Otherwise we are
talking about locking the code down to all other development until this
process is complete, and no one has discussed any kind of time frame for
this level of changes to complete, I would hate to put a complete halt to
development in order for this to happen.  I am not against doing what you
suggest, I just want to make sure we do it in the most efficient way
possible.  Would be good to hear what others in the core development have
to say, hopefully Justin and Diva and Melanie, Misterblue, BlueWall, you
guys can chime in here as well, as I am only one person here and for the
record just voicing my own concerns, I am far from the final say on any of
this stuff.
