Threaded Region Crossing Beta Tests

Introduction

In an upcoming server build, Linden Lab has added background serialization of agents and their attachments on region crossing. What has happened in the past is that when you leave a region, there was a main thread stall caused by the serialization of the avatar and it's attachments which caused a 300% spike in frame time. With added background serialization there shouldn't be such frame time spike.
