Object entry doesn't do a thing to keep people using camera-ninja  
tricks, and it doesn't stop vehicles, and it doesn't stop offset  
animations, and it doesn't stop external third-party software.

The ONLY THING that can provide any privacy in-world for anything  
less than an *isolated* private sim is server restrictions on what is  
downloaded to the client.

Unless the implementation was horribly bad it should reduce server  
lag, and it would absolutely reduce network and client lag because  
nothing in the private area would be sent over the network to the  
client.
