[sldev] How server decide what to send?

[Ian Wilson]

Is frame rate limited in any way or is it purely a function of the 
available processing power?

If you had an environment with little other geometry (inside a small 
room for example) and few other avatars (maybe 4 in total) would this 
improve performance greatly?
