In looking at the last few day’s postings over at the Official Linden Lab Weblog, I’m not as much worried about concurrency or City lag with Uru Live.
For those who have not heard, LL did a major and highly-anticipated update last Wednesday; The big change was to visibility, and it was twofold: 1) avatars can now remove themselves from all forms of tracking, including online status, and 2) all island/estate sims will show on the master map, despite any settings disabling access.
In theory, these changes (or at least the second one anyway) are designed to reduce load on their master databases. So I have to marvel at the irony that the problems of the past few days since rollout are due to an overloaded database. :P
*sigh* Sadly typical, but they don’t have a large dedicated (perhaps fanatical) user base willing to test on a regular basis, like Uru Live apparently has.
Last I heard LL is looking to leverage parts of the libsecondlife project for load testing their Beta/Preview grid; Best of luck to them.
In other news, I’ve been AWOL from all IRC channels for a couple days now; It’s been pretty busy at work, and with vacations in full swing as of next week it’s promising to get even more interesting.
