[sldev] bandwidth usage

Hi Andreas,

There is no easy answer to your question as it depends on the sim you are
currently on and the amount of prims, textures and agents (and their
attachments) near you. The amount of requests and bandwidth used will grow
also with the max visibility distance you have set up in properties (default
128meters).
If you want to have a look at what is the bandwidth usage, frame rates, tris
drawn etc etc press ctrl-shift-1 while in SL - note that there are sub menus
in that window showing more detailed information. Also press
ctrl-alt-shift-d to enable the debug menu and play around with the Client
tab - there are few hidden windows accessible from there (there are
shortcuts ctrl-shift and from numbers from 1 to 5 or 6 - I don't remember
right now) with useful information on what's going on with your client at
the moment.

Regards,
Bart
P.S.
