[Mapserver-users] Performence hit when projecting to lat long?

[Omry Yadan]

I tried to display a map in lat/long bounding box using this url:
http://omry/cgi-bin/mapserv40.exe?map=/projects/nat/nat.map&REQUEST=GetMap&V
ERSION=1&bbox=34.9098,32.2125,35.1034,32.3925&width=1000&height=1000

I get the map, but it takes forever (around a minute), in which I see the
memory footprint of the server goes up over 100mb.
I suspect the projection to lat long is the problem.

Additional info:
The data is two tiles in ecw format, total ecw files size if 223mb.

Any insights?
Suggestions?


Thanks.
