Ah - but also the way prims are linked. For example - if you decide to go out and build a massive castle - you'll have fewer separated "linked chunks".
The problem has to do with the size and distance of a prim to the one it will be linked to. The center of a cube, for instance, remained, even if you hollowed and cut it to a flat panel - the center remained right weher it alwys has been. The new system is now supposed to take the smaller size into account and adjust accordingly.
That's just one example of the new features. Others such as how you and objects move around will be improved and especially anything that is physical.
I've been waiting to get onto the early adopter program, but I guess the concierge people are swamped - it's moot now as it rolls out.
I am personally quite excited about it and can't wait to start experimenting and playing around with the new features on my own land, where I have ull control and permissions, rather than some sandbox. :)
