Rightly or wrongly, I've been making a distinction between those two
terms since using Opensim, although they're pretty much equivalent in
SL:

- A Region is a 64K area
- A Sim is an instance of OpenSim.exe

A single Sim can host several Regions; Linden tend to run each Region
in a separate Sim, so they can be split in hardware terms, but I
prefer to run my four Regions with just one Sim, and this is normal
for Opensim.
