I think I set the timer to 0.2s or 0.25s for ZHAO-II. Been a while since 
I tested it, but AFAIK, my results matched yours - some stutter on sims 
that were heavily loaded, where it wasn't clear that a faster timer 
would help or would make things worse. No perceptible lag on unloaded sims.

ZHAO-II was born from ZHAO-I, which was born from Franimation, which was 
created by Francis Chung. Franimation is a direct ancestor of ZHAO-II, 
and is much older. There would have been no ZHAO without Franimation.


I don't really have any insights into the client vs. server vs. scripted 
AO debate. I think adding asynchronous events would be a very good 
short-to-medium-term solution, and any scripted AO that used them would 
probably cause low enough sim load that the whole question could be 
punted for a long time. Assuming script load is the reason this is being 
considered.

Agreed, for purely selfish reasons. I hope LL adds new LSL functions 
that enable AO features / performance / scalability that is impossible 
today. Then someone else will write the next ubiquitous AO, and I will 
eventually stop getting the "Your walk sucks, I want my money back or 
I'm reporting you to the Lindens" IMs. My only piece of advice to 
whoever might pick up that baton - don't distribute it in a form that 
allows someone to sell an object with your name as creator.

And the ironic thing is, the ZHAO isn't even all that well-written of a 
script. I'm sure any of you who've looked at it have come to that 
conclusion a long time ago.
