It looks like we blew through a bandwidth limit on one of our switches
to the asset servers.  We rebalanced some so things should be 'better'
now.  However we are still investigating *why* it happened, and asset
requests do still seem higher than normal.  It is unlikely the viewer is
actually to blame, the problem is probably somewhere in the servers,
either a code change or configuration change (message lib did include
some configuration changes), or it is possible the asset server
maintenance work flushed or invalidated some existing caches.  I wish we
had an open source sim already so I could throw it at you guys ;) (no,
don't reply to that here please).

Until then ... If you guys can prove me wrong I'd be happy to hear it -
a new viewer is far easier to release than rolling out a new sim if
needed. :p
