Raster internal tiling performance

[Dejan Gambin]

Hi,

I have a set of ~20 small tif files (100-500KB each). Supposing I want to
have a good "zoom-in" performance, will I gain much by tiling them
internally with gdal_translate before doing gdaltindex (and gdaladdo after
that) on them?

By the way, I have created one tiled tif file and it is very big relative to
original (160MB tiled vs 350KB original)? I haven't seen this such a
difference in size before.

regards, dejan
