You can indeed give each instance its own asset cache directory. My 
rationale for not doing so is that where simulators share content, 
this should reduce requests to the asset service, resulting in less 
network traffic, and also a modest speed up when regions are first 
started in some circumstances.

Because an asset may have been cached already by another simulator.



My only concern has been that a single asset cache that has multiple 
copies of Flotsam managing it might at some point encounter some sort 
of conflict or collision. So far, I've noticed nothing of the sort, 
though. In practice, a single asset cache has been working fine for 
me.

So shared cache is a better option, until we discover a drawback.
