The output tends to be very large (hundreds to thousands of layers), and we manage this for consumers of the WMS by filtering layers based on what they are authorised to see. However even with filtering, occasionally it is possible that a WMS consumer is authorised to see such a volume of layers that the initial WMS GetCapabilities document is very large, leading to a timeout, or at best a very long response time and a huge download.

Each WMS service would include a reference to the layers that they provide. This way, pointing to service/wms-a implies a much smaller download for the GetCapabilities than the full list of layers that are provided.
