[sldev] Script/Parcel/Memory Limits

[Dahlia Trimble]

Sure the delay is a factor, however there are also rather large delays when
sending link messages through large link sets. I don't know how successful
you would be at removing the delay, prim animation aficionados such as
myself would quickly discover it and make nifty animated thingies which
would radically increase network traffic with object update packets when all
our friends gathered around the new animated thingie to watch. Perhaps an
alternate rule may work instead: apply the 0.2 second rule to each item in
the linkset that the script could address rather than the entire script? (or
something to that effect).

Of course prim animators use many scripts to get around the 0.2 second delay
now, so yeah, maybe just getting rid of it is a good idea :)
