Map Server performance

[Fawcett, David]

Gregor, 

About a year ago, there were a few threads on the list related to
performance optimization.  I think that most people agreed that there
was some good content in the list archives, but nothing in the
documentation.  

I agreed to create a skeletal HowTo and invited others to help flesh it
out.  You can find it at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/mapfiletuning  

(I was secretly hoping that Ed would write his raster optimization
dissertation there for the last time, so he would just have to point
people there instead of re-writing it quarterly to answer list questions
....  ; /  )

I think that it would be beneficial to combine or cross-reference the
two articles.  It would also be great if others would add their own
knowledge.  

David.

This is a really common question, yet it's not in the FAQ.
So I've added it:
     http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/faq/performance

It'll be linked into the main FAQ page when they've reviewed it. If 
anyone has additional input or changes to it, feel free to jump in and 
edit, or add comments.
