Hi Shamu,
I'm sorry for your experience.
you seem to have misunderstood something though.
The 1.56 updater is not faster or slower than any of our previous updaters.
The update system is unchanged.
The grey goo fence error is occuring since a long time. Some are affected far more than others. Once an avatar is affected, it seems hard get rid of the problem. Slowing things down does not help a lot.
As a little test, i just updated 100 boxes, without any problem.
The speed with which the updater updates cats is well below the documented limits after which SL's "Grey Goo Fence" protection should kick in.
Several years ago, when the issue started after an SL server update, a bug report was filled with Linden Lab. They were provided with a sample, got together with an affected breeder and me, acknowledged the problem, but have since not fixed it.
At this point, i don't see much options. With the new dock retrieval functionality in version 1.56, it may be possible to update your cats in an alternative way in future by just clicking all of them on the webpage, transferring them within the same sim to a higher version dock. Since there have never been reports about docks failing to rez, it may be possible to build an alternative updater using this system, but it's no guarantee, as there are also "grey goo fence" limits for rezzing.
We also highly recommend keeping boxes in the online cattery, it's more safe than keeping them in world and they don't need to be updated.
