Our grid allows 5 minute build times (but no longer for now I am afraid).

Note that I found no prims or primitems after my tidy up, but I did 
find over 8,000 entries in the "assets" table (with the Spammer as 
the creatorID) and it was still growing at a rate of 10-20 a minute 
before I brought the system down and restored to an earlier backup 
version. And the HG visitor was not logged in at the time.

So I think items in world can create "assets" in the databases that 
are not garbage collected when the assets are deleted or 
returned.  hence it would be easy for someone with a script or 
generator to create millions of such assets and ruin any grid even if 
it just had one tiny patch for visitors to rez and unpack boxes.
