[mapserver-users] MapCache 256 or 512 performance

[thomas bonfort]

Unless you have very specific constraints (the only one I can imagine being
on a very high latency network), I can see no reason to favor 512 over 256.
With 512 you have less tiles to transfer, however on average you will be
tranferring more data that with 256 ones (as the area outside a map view
covered by 512 tiles is greater than that area when using 256 ones).
