[Opensim-users] A bit confused

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Yeah, that's not good.  I suspect the C# HttpServer we're using is not very performant but I'm not aware of any testing 
done on that.  And as you probably know, there are few alternatives short of directing the CAP directly to a webserver 
for processing (which would be a lot of work though and interesting long-term solution for larger installations).

I'm hoping that correcting inventory version numbers will improve matters though that's largely a hypothesis at this 
stage.  Also, if a cache-cleared viewer is determined to launch large number of requests at once that would still be a 
problem.

I wonder if this kind of issue is behind LL's work on improving CAP comms.
