[mapserver-users] query mode, multiple selections

[Mike Saunt]

Hi

We use the back end CGI extensively and it is extremely fast.  It is simply
a case of being able to define what type of constraint you want against each
layer (tolerance etc) - I'm normally surprised if mapserver takes more than
a second or two to query up to 20-30 individual layers...

Hope this reassures!
