[mapserver-users] WMS Orthophoto performance

[Cédric MOULLET]

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your answer.
The dataset is composed of several ECW files, that's why we use TILEINDEX.
The data are hosted on EBS (http://aws.amazon.com/ebs/). It's supposed to
have normal I/O performance, but probably not fantastic performance. Of what
I have observed, I would say that the CPU is probably the bottleneck.
My goal is to have a 1s response time. Do I dream too much ?
