[mapguide-users] SDF Compression

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

The SDF format is a tweaked version of the SQLite engine.
I don't think there's much to do about the size of it.
I have seen pretty heavy performance optimizations, if I remove all 
unused columns from the data source.
Other than that, you might consider building different versions of the 
SDF data for different zoom levels.
You can usually generalize the geometry, and thus get much faster 
renderings.
