Long generation time of map images in mapserver

[Hal Mueller]

Is there any chance that you have omitted the ellipsoid in your 
projection definition?

I had several mapfiles without it.  They worked fine on 4.2, but 
sometimes were very slow on 4.6.  When I went to 4.10 I started 
seeing the error message at 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/error/axis-radius .  Interestingly 
though, I didn't see it every time.  I could reload the exact same 
map, and sometimes it would throw the error, sometimes not.

Once I fixed that, the slow rendering maps got fast again.
