If you are planning to serve large images via WMS it is probably a good idea
to increase your tile size [0].

Mapproxy defaults to tiles with 256x256 pixels. If you request a 1600*1200
pixel image MapProxy has to fetch and glue together 7*5=35 tiles, which adds
up latency and negates the advantage of having a proxy.

If you increase your tile size to 512x512 pixel MapProxy only has to fetch
4*3=12 tiles which should help in reducing your latency.
