[Opensim-dev] Still on Sim and Phys Frames per Second (FPS)

[AJLDuarte]

Users and scripts perception of regions health based on "facial values" of
some of those stats was made before OpenSim.
Values were not scaled because it was funny. Its was needed, possible
because viewers then needed it, ported content need it, and Users minds
needed it.
And this was maintained for all this years. Forcing the change of contents
and user minds changing pure scale factor now serves no valid purpose.

Also those metrics displayed on viewers aren't truly "true" outside the
system where they designed to profile.

Even with our best efforts to make them give some valid qualitative
information.
Other statistics were added to better profile OpenSim performance.

While I understand the arguments surrounding the original decision to report
values closely matching "the other grid", IMHO doing so created an incorrect
understanding in many users' minds of how things work and/or behave.  We are
not that other grid and should never pretend to be.  Had figures been
reported correctly in the beginning then there would be no confusion now
surrounding this subject.  However avoiding confusion is a poor reason to
roll back and once again report the 
artificially inflated values.   It is better to simply educate and make 
it clear that the value of 11fps is indeed the correct value to expect, and
is in fact the true value things always have ran at despite what any
inflated reported value said.

It is true that many scripts and tools have already been written to use the
inflated values but they can all be changed with relative ease.  The viewers
already have many aspects that are different for Open Simulator so they can
be changed easily as well for new versions also with relative ease.  All we
need to do as a community is establish what the correct and expected values
are and then document and communicate them.

As a user, scripter, tool developer, and grid manager, I for one want to see
true and accurate values for any and all metrics regardless of where they
are shown or how they may be used.  I therefore am firmly against rolling
back to any older artificially inflated values.
