[mapserver-users] Multi layer/class : performance

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi,

  I wonder which of theses two cases is better :

  CASE 1 : Multi layer :
  Define one layer per scale with minscale and maxscale, each having one 
set of classes.

  CASE 2 : One layer :
  Define one layer only with one set of classes per scale.  The classes 
would have the minscale and maxscale properties.

  I find the second case "cleaner" but I'm wondering about performance.  
Would it be slower to draw the bottom classes ( the ones with minscale 
properties only, for example) ?

Thanks,
