Subject: * Set default client throttle multiplier to 2 (old value was
 effectively 8).  See OpenSim.ini.example for details as to what this means *
 Really this should be 1, but I think that this would be too slow compared to
 a Second Life server until we improve our ability to send textures of
 variable quality * This may improve one aspect of sim performance where there
 are many avatars.  However, there are still other performance problems that
 are unrelated to this change * Value may be further tuned * Removed temporary
 decals since the multipler setting will stick around now
