For the scene polygon count, I assume you mean the added polygons for 
the avatars.  This could be handled with lower LOD for more distant avatars.

Script load and physics load (except for collision detection) shouldn't 
depend on the number of avatars, just the number of objects.

By network load do you mean sim-to-sim or viewer-to-sim?  If the latter, 
then it would mean in the new architecture we shouldn't have 
communication directly with the Region Hosts if we want to allow more 
avatars per sim.  Yes?
