[mapserver-users] Re: WMS and tiles cutting off

[Adam Eskreis]

Ok, I just gave an untiled layer a try, unfortunately though, due to the
large amount of symbols being displayed on the screen, there is about a 2
second delay every time the map is panned.  My client will most certainly
find this unacceptable.  I have tried using smaller images, but I cannot
sacrifice any more quality.  I believe my database query to be as optimized
as it can be (has about 50 ms runtime, I honestly don't think I can get it
any lower than that).

If these are the only options, is there something else besides WMS that you
all would recommend using to solve this issue?

Thanks,
-Adam
