I heard more than once that for best performance on a sim at least 40% of the prims should be unused and available....
Is that just a urban myth or what?

from what I've seen physics enabled objects and running scripts have the most affect of sim performance, generally these both go up with prim count (especially active object/scripts, but all physics enabled objects are always active)

Well Best is a funny word. If you want the *best*, 0 prims in the sim would be the ideal  That being said, I think 40% is a bit large. There should be some buffer for temp rezzers etc, I think out of all my sims, the fullest is around 12,500 prims used. It runs fine. The only problems I have there is the script count is a little high, so there is a percieved laggines due to slow scripts. I've never really seen an issue from having 'too many' prims in the sim. ANd yes, Physical or Temp Rezzed prims are the worst offenders as far as lag goes, but not because of the prims, but because of the extra overhead associated with them. |

The fewer the prims, the beter the performance. I try to leave a 25% margin, when designing a whole-sim build, with all content included. If you allow temp-on-rez to be used to rez things semi-permenantly, count each of those temp prims as double the prim load on the sim's resources.
