Hi Even,
Is it correct to say the workflow for OGR layer in MapServer is similar to that of QGIS?
OGR features / geometries are loaded, and then converted into MapServer shapes using the OGRGeometry function [1]. Would using WKB here be any more performant?
The PostGIS driver already has code to convert from WKB to shape [2] which could be repurposed.
