I don't like ANY rounding off because there will STILL be seams/gaps. I'd just rather have object placement done RIGHT instead of trying some half-assed, inexact method. Try looking around with the mouse REALLY slowly and you should see everything shake slightly (get real close to things). This seems to be related to avatar movement/rotation jerkiness, gaps, and seams too.

The more people who notice these things, the more they'll likely mention them to Roland, which hopefully means he'll actually fix it.
