Optimizing attribute search time.

[Luca Manganelli]

Hi,

there's a way to optimize attribute search time in mapserver?
I.E.: i have a 17MB dbf (with its shp file) of streets with names.
Mapserver isn't fast: a search on an Athlon 3400+ and 2GB RAM
ends in 6 seconds, which is unacceptable for us.

Is there any way to improve the time? 1-2 seconds would be good.
