Probably. (Actually an interesting test variant would be to do a
couple Mapserver versions while we're at it... I think I'll do that
compile so the option is there.)

To change the subject slightly, what rules do we want to have in terms
of versions. The Mapserver version with the WFS speed improvement
isn't released yet. I think it'll be released by FOSS4G, but is it
fair to test pre-release and/or actually patch up code in the midst of
the benchmarking? Is this a come-as-you-are event, or a bespoke event?
