I'll be the mapserver rep, unless someone else is attending who can
fill the slot.

Title:

Web Mapping Performance Shoot-out

Abstract:

This is the latest installment in an annual series of benchmarks and
presentations that pit open source and other web mapping servers
against one another in a suite of performance tests.  The presentation
seeks to find out the optimal software configurations
and to compare the performance in different real world use cases, such
as large data handling, OSM like rendering, large raster serving and
WFS scalability.  MapServer and Geoserver will be compared, as well as
different back-end data sources, such as PostGIS and Shapefiles.

[Note to reviewers, other servers may also be added to the test,
pending participation by community members.]

Presenters:

Andrea Aime (Geoserver)
Paul Ramsey (MapServer)
