[Geomoose-users] caching aerial photos in MapServer

[Eli Adam]

I've found that with well optimized tiffs (single YCBCR JPEG
compressed tiff in the correct projection with overviews), there is
essentially no time or processing spent accessing and producing aerial
views.  What time is spent delivering imagery to the client is usually
network transfer time which will be the same in cached and non-cached
cases.

The command line tool, shp2img, can be used to give timing information
from your mapfile.

Have you concluded that caching (i.e. file access and processing
times) would indeed speed up your application?

MapServer or GDAL lists might be better for aerial imagery
optimization, serving, and caching discussions.  Searching the
archives on nabble might turn up past discussions too.

Best regards, Eli
