New description:

 The viewers generate the legend by executing a series of
 !GetResourceContent() API requests - one for each layer of the map. This
 can impact performance significantly if the map contains lots of layers.

 By using the NEW !GetResourceContents() API we can reduce the number of
 requests to generate the legend from the number of layers in the map to
 just 1.
