Is everyone else reading crazy numbers of active scripts since update? One sim is now showing nearly 4000 active scripts where there was just a few hundred before update.

There's a Linden reply in here somewhere that says 1.6 had a bug that reported the active scripts incorrectly and that 1.7's numbers are accurate.

i am curious as well
especially since we all seem to be in the several thousand land and over 500 scripts was called bad pre 1.7 _____________________

I know Bliss went from showing 430 yesterday to showing 2630 today. An increase of 2200!!
That seems like an awful lot to me if correct. Sure don't know where they are all hiding, but I'm sure it won't be fun hunting them down._____________________

Was on last night and talking to Chris Linden with someone else. The other person got a
frantic IM about this , he sent here here. http://secondlife.com/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=How+do+I+read+the+sim+performance+stats%3F Hope this helps. Erika |

Perhaps it's time for
llGetActiveScripts(key avatar) where if key == "", the sim's Active scripts are returned if key == a valid AV in the sim, that AV's active scripts are returned if key == other, returns 0 _____________________

Bear in mind that there are scripts contained within all Linden animated plants and trees that controls the animation - this'll probably account for huge portions of the hikes in most sims!

We used to distinquish between "active scripts" -- scripts that had timers or other events that needed to be polled on a regular basis such as timer() and listen(), and "inactive scripts" -- scripts that only had events that were triggered from outside stimuli such as touch() and collision(). (This is internal LL developer lingo which tends to leak out into our public documents.)
The old "inactive scripts" category is not reported now, so scripts that only toggle phantom or start animations on sit are now included in the "active script" total. As far as I know there are still two lists of scripts in the new scheduler, those that need to be polled and those that don't. The new scheduler is definitely more efficient than the old one. |

Is it pretty fair to say that the greater the opcodes (ips) the more script lag?
I really wish we had ways of looking at objects or parcels and seeing how much lag they generate. |

The relationship between script lag and opcodes aren't made very clear in that link.
For example, some opcodes could take down a sim, while other opcodes could do absolutely nothing. Which I suspect is the case, but there is still a general relationship between lag and ips, even if it doesn't hold strictly true.. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this change water down the usefulness of looking at the "Active Scripts" stat for the purposes of lag reduction?
Previously, when I'd see 700 active scripts, I knew I had some work to do - since I've had a 'target' of around 500. Now, considering that linden plants and simple non-changing hovertext is included - I'm not even sure where to start, or know if I'm on target or not for my sim. (It shows 2500 active scripts now even when I'm the only AV present) _____________________

Yes, "active scripts" is pretty much useless for performance pruposes. Use Script Time and IPS instead, now.

Was anyone else having some time dilation problems last night? Mine at one point in Barcola was .39.
1 is still the reading to strive for from what I understand. _____________________
