[Opensim-users] Mega region pros and cons needed

[M.E. Verhagen]

The sim limit of 256x256 is a strange one, it would be nice if sims
could have other dimensions like 1024x1024.
At first glace megaregions seems to archive this, but not really since
you then in fact still have 16 sims just glued together.

1 megarion is definitely less laggy than 16 sims, however opensim is
performing better over time so this pro is getting smaller.

So if just want 1 region with a larger dimension then megaregion is
definetely an option, but there issues with parcel settings and other
cons.

I hope it will be possible to define the seperate region dimensions in
the future, the viewer would have to support this though.
