[OpenLayers-Dev] Making BBOX strategy smarter - part2

[Ivan Grcic]

Hi, i just saw that by default bbox has a ratio parameter:2 Creating
bbox strategy with lower value did a lot of improvement for me, since
it fetches much less data (filtering it)
The improvement is off course noticable more on larger scales (zoomed out)

new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX({ratio:1.4}

Regards, Ivan
