[X3D-Public] Open-Source Multi-User

Hello Tom,

In what context are you referring? Multi-user avatars as
Christoph is mentioning? Your suggestion can work to a
degree, but the performance would leave much to be desired
to say the least. Multi-user calls need to be happening at a
very low level in order to be efficient enough to be
useable, especially if more than a few simultaneous avatars
are expected. This is without mentioning chat, logging,
network latency, etc. Even when working at a low level you
still need to use optimization techniques. I can't really
imagine anything worth the effort of going through
interpreted languages and a database engine for every MU
request while remaining fast enough to run but a few avatars
at best. Hope this helps.

Lauren
