This makes frame time stats properly tally with fps, which saves confusion and makes it easier to interpret numbers.
In some ways this is not so artifical - physics FPS runs at the higher rate.
This is to make these statistics actually match their names (and also be more accurate as number of frames can vary under heavy load)
Currently using scene frames (11.23 every second) instead of physics frames (56.18 per second)
If active, the physics module can return arbitrary stat counters that can be seen via the MonitoringModule
(http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Monitoring_Module)
This is only active in OdeScene if collect_stats = true in [ODEPhysicsSettings].
This patch allows OdeScene to collect elapsed time information for calls to the ODE native collision methods to assess what proportion of time this takes compared to total physics processing.
This data is returned as ODENativeCollisionFrameMS in the monitoring module, updated every 3 seconds.
The performance effect of collecting stats is probably extremely minor, dwarfed by the rest of the physics code.
Unlike the other 3 stats mechanisms, monitor data can be queried per individual region, which makes this useful.
This doesn't affect an of the existing monitored stats.
Some of the places where agentMS was added were in separate threads launched by the update loop. I don't believe this is correct, since such threads are no longer contributing to frame time.
Some of the places were also driven by client input rather than the scene loop. I don't believe it's appropriate to add this kind of stuff to scene loop stats.
These changes hopefully have the nice affect of making the broken out frame stats actually add up to the total frame time
* Added log4net dependency to physxplugin in prebuild.xml.
* Added missing m_log fields to classes.
* Replaced Console.WriteLine with appropriate m_log.Xxxx
* Tested that nant test target runs succesfully.
* Tested that local opensim sandbox starts up without errors.
OpenSim.Region.Environment into a "framework" part and a modules only
part. This first changeset refactors OpenSim.Region.Environment.Scenes,
OpenSim.Region.Environment.Interfaces, and OpenSim.Region.Interfaces
into OpenSim.Region.Framework.{Interfaces,Scenes} leaving only region
modules in OpenSim.Region.Environment.
The next step will be to move region modules up from
OpenSim.Region.Environment.Modules to OpenSim.Region.CoreModules and
then sort out which modules are really core modules and which should
move out to forge.
I've been very careful to NOT BREAK anything. i hope i've
succeeded. as this is the work of a whole week i hope i managed to
keep track with the applied patches of the last week --- could any of
you that did check in stuff have a look at whether it survived? thx!
