My script will be run very infrequently (a couple times a day), but within the script I expect to reproject several thousand points each time. I assume the dictionary lookup occurs only when ms_newprojectionobj() is called and not when $poPoint->project() is called? As long as that's the case, then I'm good.<br>
<br>It's nice to get some insight as to how mapserver is working though. Thanks.<br><br>-Ray<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jun 28, 2008 at 3:02 PM, Paul Spencer <<a href="mailto:pspencer@dmsolutions.ca">pspencer@dmsolutions.ca</a>> wrote:<br>

If you are just doing some one-off translations then no big deal obviously, but if you are setting up a service to reproject or are setting up a map file with projections, then it can make quite a big difference.<br>
