[Opensim-users] Scripts sometimes do not load on start up?

[Justin Clark-Casey]

I've not heard any other reports of this yet though this doesn't necessarily mean anything.

How many regions are we talking about here?  What happens if you run fewer regions on one machine?  Does specifying

async_call_method = UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem

in [Startup] on OpenSim.ini make any difference? (this uses the system pool for threads rather than a separate 
SmartThreadPool instance)?

Also, does setting TrustBinaries = false make any difference?  This is the one relatively unusual setting you have 
below.  You could also try specifying a non zero ScriptDelayFactor in case some script is managing to hog CPU.
