* Added a new [Startup] config option called use_async_when_possible to signal how to run operations that could be either sync or async
* Changed Scene.ForEachClient to respect use_async_when_possible
* Fixing a potential deadlock in Parallel.ForEach by locking on a temporary object instead of the enumerator (which may be shared across multiple invocations on ForEach). Thank you diva
* Added a commented out call to Watchdog.UpdateThread() in OdeScene. If it turns out that loading a large OAR file or some other operation is timing out the heartbeat thread, we'll need to uncomment it
* Lock the LLUDPClient RTO math * Add a helper function for backing off the RTO, and follow the optional advice in RFC 2988 to clear existing SRTT and RTTVAR values during a backoff
* Removing the unused PrimitiveBaseShape.SculptImage parameter * Improved performance of SceneObjectPart instantiation * ZeroMesher now drops SculptData bytes like Meshmerizer, to allow the texture data to be GCed * Improved typecasting speed in MySQLLegacyRegionData.BuildShape()
* Improved the instantiation of PrimitiveBaseShape
* Avoid allocating an Action<IClientAPI> object every round of the OutgoingPacketHandler
* Removed unnecessary semi-colon endings from OpenSim.ini.example [InterestManagement] section
* Initialize the LLClientView prim full update queue to the number of prims in the scene for a big performance boost
* Reordered some comparisons on hot code paths for a minor speed boost
* Removed an unnecessary call to the expensive DateTime.Now function (if you *have* to get the current time as opposed to Environment.TickCount, always use DateTime.UtcNow)
* Don't fire the queue empty callback for the Resend category
* Run the outgoing packet handler thread loop for each client synchronously. It seems like more time was being spent doing the execution asynchronously, and it made deadlocks very difficult to track down
* Rewrote some expensive math in LandObject.cs
* Optimized EntityManager to only lock on operations that need locking, and use TryGetValue() where possible
* Only update the attachment database when an object is attached or detached
* Other small misc. performance improvements
* Changed the Send*Data structs in IClientAPI to use public readonly members instead of private members and getters
* Made Parallel.ProcessorCount public
* Started switching over packet building methods in LLClientView to use Util.StringToBytes[256/1024]() instead of Utils.StringToBytes()
* More cleanup of the ScenePresences vs. ClientManager nightmare
* ScenePresence.HandleAgentUpdate() will now time out and drop incoming AgentUpdate packets after three seconds. This fixes a deadlock on m_AgentUpdates that was blocking up the LLUDP server
* Removed two redundant parameters from SceneObjectPart
* Changed some code in terse update sending that was meant to work with references to work with value types (since Vector3 and Quaternion are structs)
* Committing a preview of a new method for sending object updates efficiently (all commented out for now)
* Disabled UpdateAccessTime() function since it was only writing zeros anyways. This gave me a significant performance improvement for startup times and avatar logins in standalone mode
* Load attachments asynchronously so avatars with lots of attachments don't have to race the timeout clock to login
During the heartbeat loop, Update() is called on every SceneObjectGroup which in turn checks if any SceneObjectPart has changed. For large regions (> 100k prims) this work consumes 20-30% of a CPU even though there are only a few objects updating each frame.
There is only one other reason to check every object on every frame, and that is the case where a script has registered the object with an "at target" listener. We can easily track when an object is registered or unregistered with an AtTarget, so this is not a reason to check every object every heartbeat.
In the attached patch, I have added a dictionary to the scene which tracks the objects which have At Targets. Each heartbeat, the AtTarget() function will be called on every object registered with a listener for that event. Also, I added a dictionary to SceneGraph which stores references to objects which have been queued for updates during the heartbeat. At each heartbeat, Update() is called only on the objects which have generated updates during that beat.
* Added some missing implementations of IClientAPI.RemoteEndPoint
* Added a ClientManager.Remove(UUID) overload
* Removed a reference to a missing project from prebuild.xml
* Removed the confusing (and LL-specific) shutdowncircuit parameter from IClientAPI.Close()
* Updated the LLUDP code to only use ClientManager instead of trying to synchronize ClientManager and m_clients
* Remove clients asynchronously since it is a very slow operation (including a 2000ms sleep)
* Move ViewerEffect handling to Scene.PacketHandlers
* Removing the unused CloseAllAgents function
* Trimming ClientManager down. This class needs to be reworked to keep LLUDP circuit codes from intruding into the abstract OpenSim core code
