What does this actually return nowadays? Is it the number of prims used on the parcel (which isn't a lot of use now), or is it their total land impact?

I did a quick test, and as suspected, it's Land Impact. For all intents and purposes this is the equivalent of the legacy primcount, so makes sense.

I just noticed there is no "Land Impact" article on the wiki....

hehe, yes so I see. I think it's because at first LL called it Prim Equivalence (PE). There's some links for that, though it's a mess:

https://wiki.secondlife.com/w/index....ce&redirect=no

it just redirects to another page, when then redirects to the Knowledge base. nice...

I did find one wiki page for Land Impact:
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Cal...land_impact/pt

it's only in Portugese though.

meh, and the KB article isn't very informative on how the calculation is done...

I can't get any farther than "the higher of physics/server/download weight plus 1 rounded up" as a guess based on that article.

I haven't had any good resources to make articles for this topic so I've stayed away.

Calculating land impact - Second Life

I know they have been tweaking the equations recently, it's been in the server release notes.

Changed prim accounting for legacy prims which use the new accounting system:

• All legacy-style prims have their streaming cost capped at 1.0 (except for sculpts, which will be capped at 2.0). This provides the benefit of not penalizing prim-based creators for optimizing their content by opting into the new system and will make the streaming cost more reflective of the true network cost of the objects.
• Server cost will be adjusted to MIN{ (0.5*num_prims) + (0.25 * num_scripts), num_prims }. This preserves the current value for unscripted linksets and reduce the cost for linksets containing fewer than 2*num_prims scripts. It provides the benefit of rewarding creators for reducing the number of scripts in their objects.
