[sldev] How fast can packets be sent to the grid?

I'm going to start soon work on two new features: keeping starts of object 
rezzing, and object search by owner.

Both need to know who owns every object in sight, and since that data isn't 
currently sent for all the objects automatically, I'll have to query the 
information for every object seen. That's a lot of requests.

Now the question is: If I'm going to suddenly submit a LOT of queries at 
once to the grid, do I need to throttle them? I can just submit a request 
for everything without owner info in my queue (which could be 100 requests 
at once say), limit it to X requests per second, don't send a new request 
until the previous one has been replied to or timed out, etc.

So what would be the proper way of doing this?
