[QGIS-Developer] [Server] Is QGIS Server 3 fast yet ? the 2018-02-06

[Yves Jacolin]

Hello all,

Thanks René-Luc for this first analysis and all other for your though.
Here some informations :)

First I won't be at Madeira and this is the 2nd hackfest I missed in one
year. That's a pity but I have a onsite trip for a customer each French
holiday.

But, I think Camptocamp has some R&D on QGIS performance so I will check
this afternoon's meeting how we can start this. Performance improvement
could be either analyze QGIS, add new test (GetFeatureInfo, etc.).

René-Luc, could you open a ticket (if not already did) about any changes
you think valuable?!

Y.
