[Opensim-users] Theoretical limit on maximum number of NPCs on a region

[Michael Emory Cerquoni]

The biggest bottleneck for NPCs will be the Viewer and its ability to
render them, I have had 1000+ very basic almost near ruth like NPCs running
around no problem, however as you will see in this video >
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljLlbF0mzwQ  that 40 of my alien avatars
which is aproximately 150,000 prims moving around really does a number on
the viewer, just make sure your avatars are as optimized as possible and
you can easily have 100's of NPCs no problem.
