[mapguide-users] what's holding people back from upgrading to 2.0?

Tue Oct 7 18:09:19 EDT 2008

I have modified the viewer to prevent zooming closer than 1:100, because 
the server performs terrible at that point.
I have logged an issue here:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/523

I have not tried different styles, but I was guessing that the renderer 
tries to
map the the entire polygon to pixels, and a building at 1:3 takes MANY 
pixels.
