[Opensim-users] Mega region pros and cons needed

[Justin Clark-Casey]

As other people have said, the pros are that a megaregion doesn't suffer the border crossing penalty of trnasferring an 
avatar from one scene loop to another.

The cons for me though are pretty big.  There are various things which don't work properly or in unexpected ways (e.g. 
terrain/oar loading, media URLs).  It's difficult to get around these without viewer co-operation.

There are almost certainly many other bugs since it's code that nobody has touched for a long time.  To be honest, I'm 
rather surprised that it still works.
