GD vs AGG performance...

[Andreas Albarello]

Same for me here. Didn't notice any major performance hits. Rendering 
times with AGG and GD are in about the same ballpark here.

Maybe getting some idea of the kind of symbols, outlines etc. you use 
would help. Perhaps you could also clarify how you have been able to get 
maps below 100ms in the first place?

Best regards,
Andreas Albarello
