[mapguide-internals] Meta-tiling RFC ?

[Zac Spitzer]

Last year during the discussion about changing the tile cache
directory naming structure
and in part of that discussion was briefly mentioned about meta-tiling

The idea being that data access is more expensive that actually
rendering the map, thus when one tile
is requested which doesn't exist, a whole block of missing tiles would
be rendered.

Rendering 4x4 tiles 300px ie 16  seperate tiles all using almost the
same data must be exponentially slower
than extracting and rendering a 1200x1200 once tile and slicing it
back into the 16 tiles

thoughts?
