[mapserver-users] is mapserver on windows slower ???

[Gregor Friedrich]

Hi there,

If am testing the same map services with identical data sources (shapefiles 
with *.qix index)  one serving on Linux (SUSE 7.3, Apache 1.3.19... self 
compiled binary ) the other one on Win2k Server with IIS 5.0 etc, 
downloaded binary ) , the Win machine have 2 Pentium II  300 Mhz each, the 
Linux box just one Pentinum II 300 Mhz . I had  expected that the WIn2k box 
is 2 times faster around than the Linux box , but the win box needs more 
time to build the maps. The service on Linux needs 20 seconds (64000 
polygons !) to start up , the windows service 30 s . On Linux mapserv 
processes consume > 90 % of processor power, on windows only 50 - 54 % , it 
seems that the parallelizing is n't so good , is n't it ?

greetings from germany
