This kind of thing has been discussed on the scripting mailing list for limiting scripts though not with a focus for openspaces. I think the problem is very hard to solve for scripts and avs themselve are not a huge problem. It is the scripted objects they wear and the heavy prims worn etc.
The avs could be limited just fine but that would not necessarily stop script abuse. Determining what is fine and not breaking content is a delicate balancing act and one that it was clear from the mailing list that LL is acting cautiously over.
