The performance increase is negligible, but the ease of management alone
is worth it. Steve

Hi,

Here's my scenario. I got a bunch of tiff files (about 60) with
corresponding world files.
Is there any benefit of using a tile file to manage all this files. What
are the benefits other than being more manageable and exist as a single
layer in a map file ? Like any
performance increase, etc ?

Thanks
Nyon
