[Mapserver-users] Dataset with 120'000 tiles

[Paul Ramsey]

Probably the folks at Topozone have.
First, make sure you have a shapeindex file that provides a quick way 
for mapserver to figure out what tiles are useful for a particular map. 
Make sure you build an index file (.qix) for that shapeindex file.
Finally, formats like TIFF are way faster than formats like JPG/PNG/GIF. 
This is because TIFF can be partially accessed (give me the top 20% of 
the file) way faster than JPEG, which has to be completely decompressed 
before it can be accessed.
