Summary

0005644: Unnecessary #driveStep

Description

#driveStep is being sent over the wire pretty much as often as possible, resulting in a lot of extra network traffic. A consequence for WAN operations is that various network throttle controls might cut-in, limiting performance.

Additional Information

CroquetParticipant>>step => CroquetHarness>>step => TAvatarUser>>updateUser => replica future driveStep.

PLUS....

CroquetHarness>>renderWorld => TAvatarUser>>driveStep => replica future driveStep.

The only replicated implementation of #driveStep does #stillAlive, #drive, and #fall.
These can be done completely on-island with a temporal loop (no network traffic), and the #stillAlive could be futureSent from the TAvatarUser like once a second or so.

TAvatarUser>>updateUser isn't really needed at all in this code-base, but you could imagine someone relying on it as a hook for something.
