Make the Second Life script editor more user-friendly by adding real-time script stats at the top of the floater window. This would give scripters instant feedback on how their edits affect memory usage and performance, making it easier to write efficient, optimized scripts.
This doesn't need to be real-time if that isn't possible or to intensive however, This does seem like something that can be done after a script is compiled.
Suggested Metrics:
  • Script Memory Usage: Display the script’s current memory footprint (e.g., “Memory Usage: 16 KB / 64 KB”).
  • Instruction Count Estimate: Provide an approximation of the number of operations executed per event.
  • Mono Heap Usage: Show memory allocation for Mono-compiled scripts.
  • Total Running Time: Estimate how much execution time the script might consume in active states.
  • Other Potential Metrics: Stack depth, event queue size, or execution time per event.
Benefits:
  • Real-Time Optimization Feedback: Scripters can immediately see the impact of code changes on memory and execution efficiency.
  • Improved Performance Awareness: Encourages best practices by making script limitations more visible.
  • Streamlined Debugging: Helps identify potential inefficiencies before deployment.
  • Better Resource Management: Reduces excessive script load across regions, improving overall grid stability.
