<FONT size=2>We are evaluating the performance of Mapserver to go ahead with
plans of developing a product based on the MapServer core, and we are looking
for statistics on the performance issues listed such as The No of requests per
second, the success rate, the HTTP errors, the amount of processor overhead, the
memory bloat...etc etc..</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=591152611-09092002><FONT size=2>Can some one be kind enough to
shed more light on any previous work already done on any performance issues of
MapServer....</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=591152611-09092002><FONT size=2>I would be glad to see figures
related to performance, and a comparitive study of MapServer vis-a-vis any other
similar product/tool available in the market.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=591152611-09092002><FONT size=2>PS: One moot question I would
like to ask the folks all around is "What are the pros and cons of MapServer
being a CGI Exe, is it an Ideal choice for a Web Application, as we know
generally that all CGI apps have an inherent issue of getting loaded in to the
memory for each request".</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
