* 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
