That is pretty much the idea behind a regular web server. The firefox
viewer just displays it all in 2D instead of 3D.<br>
<br>
I know, I made it sound simple.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I really don't think standalone mode is a relic
of the past,
and don't think its finest hour is anywhere near yet. I think adaptions
of
standalone mode, with a Hypergrid type systems, are a big part of the
future.<br>
<br>
There are so many applications that a variant of standalone would fit
much
better than full grid mode.<br>
<br>
But even if its not, it is certainly useful for testing and for new
users. And
performs much better than a grid for a few regions. Someone was asking
about
this in #dev the other day...Why when they switch from standalone to
grid mode
with the same number of regions, was the performance much worse.<br>
<br>
There is also the issue that Justin mentioned last time we talked about
this
(last week in the other thread), of a user having to monitor the other
processes and restarting them if one of them crashed. <br>
<br>
I really think we should be moving away from the grid system we have
now. I
think we could improve the Hypergrid concept of the grid/map and have a
more
peer to peer grid service.<br>
<br>
But again I do think there is a lot that we can do to simplify the code
paths,
we have a lot of duplication that isn't needed and don't share code and
interfaces between the UGAIM and the standalone services as much as we
should. <br>
<br>
So my vote is still -1 to removing standalone mode. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I believe the simplification of internal code
paths is worth
the <br>
multiple processes. Of course, you may have a different opinion.<br>
<br>
I further believe that the overhead is negligible and caught up by <br>
the time saved within the application, for not having to call across <br>
delegates, interfaces and X layers of indirection.<br>
<br>
An "implicit grid mode" can certainly be made VS friendly - just a <br>
matter of designing it that way.<br>
<br>
And grid mode != SLClone. All the new directions (distributed asset <br>
system, OpenID, etc) revolve around grid mode.<br>
<br>
Standalone is a relic from the early days that should have it's <br>
finest hour just about now. It's about as useless as a HTTP 1.0 <br>
webserver in view of the things to come.<br>
