[mapserver-dev] Server-side Simplication Speed-up

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Another idea would be to examine the queryObj that hangs off the mapObj (e.g. map->query). If
the type is MS_QUERY_IS_NULL then it's a rendering operation. Query maps are a special case but
they're often combined with other presentation so that's probably ok.

Might at least be able to test with that...

Could we add msLayerSetSimplifyResolution() that could be called to turn on/off the simplify stuff? Passing a valid resolution at the beginning of a rendering pass would enable it, and a resolution of 0 in other cases would disable it and return the original coordinates.
