"it does not have to be 256mx256m (which is some randomly Linden inside joke anyway)."
I would sure love to know how you came to that conclusion? Those of us working on a sailing environment would love to be able to create a Super Sized boating region for events :)
There are a few points you can test, as I have;
re performance; if you take the latest Intel i7 quad processor with 4 gb and a 43 Mbps backbone and just give it one region to serve, it is capable of huge Av and asset loads. Granted LL can do the same but unless a major event is promoted by them I doubt it ever would be used.
That leads me to the single major difference in the experience. You have so much more control over your 3D world to suit the purpose maybe only you desire. Without modification of the base OpenSim code you can tailor so many elements that a users sees from the currency people receive to the scripting engine and physics they use. And on and on.. so best find out where you are and what they are running..
Great Start
