[mapserver-users] Production mapserver

[Smith, Michael ERDC-CRREL-NH]

In the benchmark testing we did last year, see
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Benchmarking_2010, I tested MapServer with
minimal formats (just PostGIS) compiled it vs MapServer with Oracle,
PostGIS, GDAL/OGR. There was no difference affect on performance by having a
minimal build.
