I'm not having a moan here but I was reading about Huge prim, stretched prims, etc and started wondering why the limit for prim size is 10M by 10M. Just thinking of things like maybe they could reduce prim allocations freeing up land, homes are rarely that small and so on. I'm sure the question and answer is here somewhere but I couldn't find it.
Thanks,
Andrew

Something to do with physics and sim border hand-over regions being 10 metres wide.

They mentioned this a couple THM's ago - it's a Havok limit, IIRC.

Limiting prim size is also useful to reduce griefing problems. As it is your neighbor can have 5m of object hanging over your land without your being able to remove the object, by making a 10m cube and overlapping the border.

They can overhang 30 metres worth of linked crap so long as the root is on their side of the fence.
