"... Those region operators who still want accurate data reported to legacy
viewers and accept the lag meter breakage can still set Normalized55FPS to
false..."
Melanie didn't add a 66fps variant :)

Putting some code where my mouth is :)
commit 8c7f47574040aa116dfb57e8c380e1fad60e5d1a
Author: Melanie Thielker <melanie at t-data.com>
Date: Thu Nov 12 21:13:44 2015 +0100
Add some values to the SimulatorFeatures cap's OpenSimExtras
section:
SimulatorFPS: The actual optimal FPS of the simulator, un-fudged
SimulatorFPSFactor: The fudge factor that is applied to the stats sent
to the viewer
SimulatorFPSWarnPercent: The percentage below which a lag meter should
go to amber
SimulatorFPSCritPercent: The percentage below which a lag meter should
go to red
To display the real values, a viewer would divide the reported FPS by
the SimulatorFPSFactor and use that to calculate the percentage of
SimulatorFPS. E.g. reported is 55fps, SimulatorFPSFactor is 5.0 and
SimulatorFPS is 11.
With this, legacy viewers will see 55fps but the viewer now has enough
information to show the real FPS. Viewers would have to implement code to
handle this.
Those region operators who still want accurate data reported to legacy
viewers and accept the lag meter breakage can still set Normalized66FPS to
false.
