[OpenLayers-Dev] Making BBOX strategy smarter - part2

[Ivan Grcic]

...and now when i lowered the ratio on bbox strategy, i can see big
difference in refreshing the data (discarding old ones, fetchin new
ones)
Before i didnt see it because it was always fetching data for much bigger area.

So now I can say that bbox strategy works pretty well for me!
