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
* This causes time to be counted in ODECharacter and, when a collision occurs, the physics scene will report the collisions only if the the difference of last time it reported the collisions from now was more then the set ms.
* This is cool because the time accrues while collisions are not taking place and when they do take place again, you get an immediate update.
* Shrinks the largest in-memory object, the LLRAW.HeightmapLookupValue struct (only used for exporting to LLRAW terrain files), to the minimum possible size. This seems to have the odd side effect of cutting the size of the two double[256,256] terrain objects in half. Possibly an alignment optimization?
