You can probably drop that because it won't affect the Mapnik TileCache Layer.

Now the tilecache_seed.py is taking about 0.9 seconds for generating a single tile, while before this modification the time required was about 0.02 s. All the shapes are indexed with shapeindex on 64 levels. It's possible that a change in the projection cause such a dramatical performances decrease? Or maybe tilecache is trying to "reproject" something?<br> <br>Thank you all,<br><br>Damiano<br> _______________________________________________<br>Tilecache mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Tilecache@openlayers.org">Tilecache@openlayers.org</a><br>http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/tilecache<br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
