Suppose I had a _lot_ of people (e.g. 30 or so), clicking the "pay" action on a prim within a period of a few seconds (Hey... I can dream, right?) ... would the LSL engine cope with this gracefully, and queue/process all the pay events.... or is it prone to lose events in circumstances like this?
Anybody got hands-on experience in this area?

Events do queue. Up to a limit. I`m sorry, but I don`t have personal experience with the money event in particular, nor do I recall what the queue length limit is.

...and I`m pretty sure that they use the same event queue, so..... possibly; from my own personal experience/testing the collision_start/collision/collision_end event(s) appear to que up seperately than the listen events- at least in a per-prim basis. they might share ques in the same script, but my testing involved seperate scripts for the listen and the collision ques. _____________________

To the best of my knowlege, each script has a single event queue that is shared by all event types. The collision events you described would queue independantly for each script in the same prim. If anyone knows differently, please let me know.

There are, or were anyway, definitely limits shorter than the queue's max length for some things.
Collisions it used to be 8. Sensor's it still the last one. My guess is it's to do with the amount of data that can be stored as well, since collisions and sensors both have the potential to deliver lots of data. _____________________
