[mapguide-users] Map Guide Inconsistent Performance

[Andrew DeMerchant]

I get pretty poor performance too (I'm using the DWF viewer). I've 
noticed a serious decrease in speed when you use filters on your data, 
and when you use thematic layers. I had thought that maybe it was the 
ODBC FDO, but maybe not, since you're using SDF's....
