[Opensim-users] Collada importing snags

[Wade Schuette]

I have the vague impression from my own experience importing buildings 
into OpenSim 7.2 that it can make a difference in results whether the 
cache is clear or not.   I seem to get correct results more often when I 
start with a clear cache.

I'm working on a MacBook Pro with the latest Mac operating system and 
using both Firestorm and Second Life clients,  which  works better if 
the cache is cleared between different clients, so maybe that's all I'm 
seeing.

In either case, it sounds like multiple simultaneous processes are 
collaborating on doing the analysis and import, and something that is 
supposed to be atomic, and is atomic on an unhindered workstation,  
turns out to miss-connections on some portion of the work,  perhaps more 
often when it runs into constraints which, in a perfectly programmed 
world, would be invisible.

It suggests doing imports would work better with a recently-rebooted 
computer,  a clear cache,  and as few as possible other programs and 
processes competing for cpu-cycles and disk-writes and memory.
