Hi list,
Today I was testing Mapserver WFS on a shapefile of 450 Mb in size with a
quadtree index.
I am using no Filter (no BBOX) but only a MAXFEATURES parameter in my URL.
Perhaps this is not the intention of Mapserver WFS, but this is also a
potential for people to "attack" the server. It looks like Mapserver is
reading the whole shapefile in order to give back the first 1 or 10
features. I stopped testing at 10 features because of the long response
times.
These are the results of my performance test:
MAXFEATURES RESPONSE_TIME [seconds]
1 192
10 210
Any comments on this? Am I doing something wrong?
Best regards,
Bart
