What i would think should happen is
1 a very clear set of controls (a set of sliders with a number input
box would be good)
2 a way to control any kind of auto set function (min max and OFF maybe)
3 a very clearly stated wiki page on this function to explain what is going on
btw it is a function

Note that my much over-simplified heuristic (from my much-oversimplified

I can see the merit of all the objections to automating DD in this and the
other thread. I am not trying to be stubborn here.
However, the objections have all been "expert power user" in nature, rather
than "Faster, Funner, Easier" or whatever mantra was.

Shouldn't 'network render' distance and graphics render distance be seperate
kinda for this purpose?
I could see graphics render distance auto-tune to FPS, but auto-tune should
never touch the network distance controller, as that otherwise could cause

On Thu,
At yesterday's meeting with Oz having a FPS auto-tune system was
discussed. I am going to try to write up a description of how this
could be implemented and once it is fleshed out will post it here for

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that everytime you increase your
draw distance, your viewer requests all the prims to rez from the
sim... Which means a lot more network traffic if it changes all the
time (which would be the case if it were automatic).
Besides I like to keep control over my draw
I have sometimes wondered why this is not more automagic, or maybe why the
magic approach doesn't work well enough.
Suppose my DD is set to 256. Upon detecting a poor FPS, the viewer could
remember the DD, and then reduce it temporarily to 32. As FPS becomes
acceptable, it increases it little by
