<body>hallo<br />
<br />
when you say that one of them is larger. what do you mean. do you mean larger extent, number of features or size of file. <br />
<br />
what i wonder is if it could be that the fast one has less complex features with less vertexes per feature. the size of the actual .shp file can give a hint.<br />

<span style="font-size: 8pt;">What factors affect the rendering speed of a
shapefile? I ask because I have 2 shapes file with roughly the same
extents and the same number and type (polygon) of features. I created
spatial indices for both but one of them, actually the slightly larger
one, renders much faster?<br />
