[fdo-internals] SHP performance problem may be due to .idx

[everling]

Hello. Trevor suggested that the FDO Internals may be a better list for the
following bug report that I originally posted in the MapGuide Internals
list.

> Bug report:
> 1. Whenever I preview my SHP feature source, the associated *.idx file is
> modified.
> 2. This is true for managed or unmanaged files, the relevant *.idx files
> are always modified.
> 3. If the SHP feature source is pointing to an unmanaged folder, all *.idx
> files within the directory are modified even if you are viewing the
> contents of only one SHP file or previewing the feature source with
> Maestro.
> 4. The contents of the *.idx files are unchanged. Confirmed with MD5 file
> checksums.
> 4. Reproduced with MGOS 2.2 and MGOS 2.4 RC2 on Windows 7.
> 
> I think MGOS recreates the idx files on every view and that this is the
> reason that MGOS performs poorly on SHP files, especially when working

> Best regards.

Best regards.
