Well not offering any great insight of my own, but I have read some on the
considerations one needs to take in moving to a size/co-ordinate based
system. These include distance of movement, building to scale, LOS
calculations and their load on the CPU (I remember reading about R-Tree's in
relation to this). Most of what I've read has been on the adv-mud list. I
went through it again some this afternoon and selected a few of the
posting's. There are at least three thread's on the issue through out the
archive you might want to peruse.
