[Benchmarking] Geotiff and overviews

[Michael Smith]

Anne-Sophie,

I don't see a problem with you creating external overviews of the geotiffs.
Its similar in concept to how we are all creating our spatial index files.
As long as they are geotiff pyramids, internal vs external seems like no
difference to me.
