[Opensim-users] Sim size limits

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Chris, this is why we recommend that one does not re-use configurations between OpenSim installations, particularly with 
non-mainstream architectures such as serverless grid.

I haven't heard of any such major problems with the out-of-the-box configs in 0.7.3 (or 0.7.2).
