[mapserver-users] Re: ArcIMS and MapXtreme comparison

[Flavio Hendry]

Hi Matt

We experience that ArcIMS gets really slow with large Shape files (it's fine if you use SDE = $$$$).
MapServer, using "shapetree" is fast even with very large shape files, with ArcIMS / ArcGIS there is no such thing like shapetree as far as I know - ESRI seems not to have a decent indexing for Shape files - and they seem not to be interested as they want to get you on SDE ... If you have SDE, performance should be OK.

best regards
Flavio
