[Opensim-users] Slow to react touch to start scripts

[Justin Clark-Casey]

I suspect this is probably unrelated.  InuYusha, you may want to check your ScriptDelayFactor in the [XEngine] config 
section and MinThreads, MaxThreads, etc. settings.  There may be a particular problem if you have updated by copying 
over 0.7.3.1 config files - hence we recommend manually updating from fresh 0.7.4 files even though that can be a pain.

Beyond that, I don't have any immediate idea why event firing would suddenly be delayed if the content of the regions 
and the hardware is exactly the same.  I will probably try and add a script event debug switch so we can see when the 
event is actually being fired.  However, that would require updating to bleeding edge to use and would likely only be 
the first diagnostic step.  You can see some XEngine information per region with the command "xengine status", though 
I'm not sure how much that would tell us.  Still, it would be worth seeing.

I'm also going to make the same point that InuYasha is probably sick of - 56 regions on a standalone (I'm a bit confused 
by "standalone grid") is a very unusual configuration - most people don't run more than a couple on a simulator (and 
many people run 1, preferring to start separate OpenSim.exe instances instead!.  So the basic things would be to try is 
seeing if reducing the number of regions (hence reducing other script load, etc.) makes a difference.
