spatial indexing

[Stephen Lime]

The cell-based code is old and has been replaced with the tree-based stuff. I keep the old stuff around for the heck of it. The tree code is what you should use. It's faster, and has smaller, machine independent indexes (in CVS version) . Neither used much memory.

I hope to see even more improvement on the tree code in the near future...

Hello,

I have noticed that there are two methods of spatial indexing
in Map Server, by using quad-trees or cell-based.
What is the best method in terms of speed, memory usage, disk space?

Best regards,
