[mapserver-dev] mapserver performance windows/linux

[JUDD.CHRISTOPHER]

Andy,

That looks pretty close to the numbers that I am getting.  

Steve, will that suffice for the profiling?  I guess it would be nice to
look at the differences between ms4w 2.3.1 and 3 beta 7.

I'd like to do whatever I can to help identify this as a bug and try to
get it fixed.

Thanks,
Chris

On Linux its easy.  recompile with -pg, then run it once which will dump

out a gmon.out, then use the gprof to view it.

No idea on windows.

I used shp2img because I dont have php script compiled.  I downloaded 
your test set and changed the mapfile extent to match what you had in 
the php script.

shp2img takes 2.6 seconds to render, and my images came out a lot like 
yours.  (I'm also using mapserver 5.6)

I tried it with both gd and agg and it didnt seem to make a difference. 
  But changing to ANGLE AUTO made it run in 0.8 seconds.

Here are my gprof dumps.
