[Opensim-users] General question about opensim vs secondlife server side performance

[Trinity]

The timer throttle can be adjusted in the opensim.ini but at the moment i
cant remember the config options name and its undocumented. You will need
to look at the source to find it i believe. You can set it to .01 but you
better have the horse power to use it
