[OpenLayers-Dev] Re: Mod_tile performance enhancements?

[Jason Lee]

Actually, I tried isolating the other Layers and benchmarking again. It
turns out the 1st Layer (Areas) I tried is the most complex which is why
the response time was roughly the same. I tried a Boundary layer and render
time was about 2 seconds.
