[MapServer-users] What is the optimal value of requests per second for Mapserver?

[Daniel Morissette]

As Oskar wrote, there is no single answer to this question.  It depends 
on lots of factors.

To give you an idea, you may be interested in checking out the FOSS4G 
WMS Benchmarks [1], a friendly competition that took place for a few 
years at FOSS4G comparing MapServer and other contenders under various 
types of load.

Since there is LOTS of info in there, I suggest that you start by 
reviewing the 2011 benchmark presentation [2] to get a first overview of 
the tests and the results, and then if you want to know more you can 
find more details on the benchmark environment in the wiki at [3].
