If the actor being assigned a task is in a part of the world that is currently swapped out to disk, what do you do? Do you have to bring it back into memory to enable the actor to process the assigned work? Or is the result of the work calculated, and the results applied, when that part of the world is brought back into memory? (I.e. it is not loaded into memory unless a player needs it) (I believe Nathan does something like this?) Of course, I'm assuming you have an in-memory db, supported by disk caching. -- Greg Munt, greg#uni-corn,demon.co.uk SysAdmins! Protect the innoccent!
