[mapserver-users] Mapserver performance on apache - heavy load systems

[Peter Maes]

Hi all,

We are planning to launch a major mapserver production site where i'm
required to launch many mapserver instances in some form of cluster.

So I basically have some questions related to this:

- Does anyone have good tips on performance for running mapserver on
apache?
- Any specific build parameters I should pay attention to?
- Does it run as a native apache module, or is it required to work through
cgi?  In which case: will i get better performance by using fastcgi? (we
are not using databases but shapefiles).
- Should I consider lighttpd or nginx instead?

- Any other tips related to clustering mapserver instances? :).

Note that we are using live data, so we cannot cache them, except for a
minute or so.

Thanks for your time.
