Hey folks,
I've been noticing the following behaviour (on linux): after some time logged i on snowglobe (latest svn checkout of 2009/trunk) I find that there are several copies of SLPlugin running in the background, and each of them loaded every single browser plugin installed on my system. I doubt that I have come across prims that have flash or pdf files on urls on them (yet), since the general population has only just started playing with that. Anyhow, the result of all those (useless?) processes in the background is heavy swapping, manifesting itself in "lag like hell" (framerate drops from around 25 to 1.5). A relog fixes it (of course), but only for a short time. ...Add the possibility of all those nasty flash exploits running wild, and the whole "Fully interactive html on a prim" idea suddenly has a slightly rotten smell for me... which gets seriously stronger when I look at viewer 2.0 with its "html on an attachment irregardless of parcel media settings". Anyways, shouldn't SLPlugin exit when it is done doing what it thought it should be doing? bye, LC _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
