Maximum Mongen client load?

[DavidShaw]

What is the maximum amount of monsters a client machine can render before slowdown (visual lagging) occurs???
1000?
10000?
100000?
1000000?

And is it based on the total monsters on the Map?
Or on the perceived monsters in range that actually move?

If its based on perception of movement then would it be safe to say that there is a minimum requirement of 169(visible screen spaces), as in any PC that can manage 169 mobs will be fine in all situations as thats the most that can fit on screen?

Answers would be good, Thanks

Dont think there is a maximum... when ive done a full mongen clear on OS and 4heros before ive had like 100s of millions of mobs cleared (takes like 30secs to clear em all its that many)

assuming spawns are set out correctly, with different spawn timers so they dont interfer with each other too much, and its not like 2mil mobs spawnin every 15mins it should be ok, aswell as a correct amount of spawnin (eg 20 with 4 diff coords rahter than 1 coords and 80 mobs)

Last time we tested, we had like 1300-1500 spawned in bw town befor the mir2 exe started to lag and wouldnt render any more data.

Then you get all that funny writing at the top of the screen.
