<DIV><SPAN class=098305014-26112008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all, which is
faster to render, polygons or lines. I have a water layer with about
19,000 polygons and intend on showing them as line features instead of
polygons. Would it be faster to convert them to line shapefiles or leave
them as polygon shape files. I can try my test and report back but wanted
an official opinion from the group also.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
