[mapserver-users] Raster performance hints

[Stephen Woodbridge]

I’ve had excellent results using jpeg YCBR in geotiff compression. It make small files, supports overviews and is fast. Building a custom overview layer is a good idea and save a lot in response time over opening a large number if files.
