CAPs are per sim host I believe, so flooding requests on them could
affect a number of regions and not just the one the agent is connected to.

Remember when HTTP textures was first added and it was really really
much faster than UDP? Remember when HTTP texture CAP use became
mainstream on 99% of agents and how it became almost as slow as UDP was?

And if you have a crappy consumer router (like it sounds like Niran
has), you can end up with pretty sever issues from it choking on all
the quick successive connections the viewer makes. Monty's work HTTP
on both ends will have (has had) great improvements here.
