[mapserver-users] Symbol rendering performance (image x vector xfont)

[thomas bonfort]

Note that there's no caching in place for truetype/vector/ellipse
symbols with the agg renderer.
As always, there's no better way than to try out the different options
in your environment to see what suits your needs best, as there's no
single answer to your performance requirements (it will depend on the
complexity of your vector/truetype symbol, and the size of your
pixmaps). If you do some benchmarking on this, please post a summary
of your testcase and conclusions so others can benefit from them :)

cheers,
thomas
