MW 811cd3e0bf change to how initial terrain data is sent. Instead of sending the 64 packets in rapid fire as quickly as possible. The terrain data sending is now done in a threadpool worker thread over ~10 seconds with a thread.sleep between each packet sending. this hasn't been tested thoroughly, so it might not actually help with the atom bomb terrain (missing patches) but its a simple thing to revert if it makes things worse for anyone.
10 seconds is roughly the time between the region handshake completing and you being in world where you can see your avatar. So normally the terrain still should have loaded by time you get in the region, although it is possible that sometimes you might see the very end of the terrain load just after you arrive.

README.txt

Welcome to OpenSim! 

Version 0.5

== OVERVIEW ==

OpenSim is a BSD Licensed Open Source project to develop a functioning
virtual worlds server platform capable of supporting multiple clients
and servers in a heterogeneous grid structure. OpenSim is written in
C#, and can run under Mono or the Microsoft .NET runtimes.

This is considered an alpha release.  Some stuff works, a lot
doesn't.  If it breaks, you get to keep *both* pieces.

== Installation on Windows ==

Prereqs:

 * Load OpenSim.sln into Visual Studio .NET and build the solution.
 * chdir bin
 * OpenSim.exe

See configuring OpenSim

== Installation on Linux ==

Prereqs:
 * Mono >= 1.2.3.1
 * Nant >= 0.85
 * sqlite3

From the distribution type:
 * nant
 * cd bin
 * mono ./OpenSim.exe

See configuring OpenSim

== Configuring OpenSim ==

When OpenSim starts for the first time, you will be prompted with a
series of questions that look something like:

[09-17 03:54:40] DEFAULT REGION CONFIG: Simulator Name [OpenSim Test]:

At each of these you must provide you own value or just hit enter to
take the default (in this case "OpenSim Test").

YOUR SIM WILL NOT BE STARTED UNTIL YOU ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

Once you are presented with a prompt that looks like:

  Region# :

You have successfully started OpenSim.

== Connecting to your OpenSim ==

By default your sim will be running on http://127.0.0.1:9000.  To use
your OpenSim add -loginuri http://127.0.0.1:9000 to your second life
client (running on the same machine as your OpenSim).

== More Information on OpenSim ==

More extensive information on building, running, and configuring
OpenSim, as well as how to report bugs, and participate in the OpenSim
project can always be found at http://opensimulator.org.

Thanks for trying OpenSim, we hope it was a pleasant experience.
