But you need to know how much data is been transferred and how much 
computation is needed in order to scale efficiently.

The question is whether it is better to keep the avatar information on 
specialized servers in the same domain as the region servers or whether 
the region server should kepp all of the information.

I'm trying to address the population limit on a sim.  I don't know the 
best solution, but I know the current implementation doesn't work.  Any 
ideas?
