[OpenLayers-Users] About WFS and Openlayers

[Guillaume Sueur]

Hi,

That can come from the size (number of vertices) of your polygons. Even 
if they are only 70, if each of them counts more than 100 vertices, it's 
already at least 7000 points that the browser has to deal with, which is 
far too many. Consider using ST_simplify(geom,value) on your postgis 
table, increasing <value> until it can be displayed. Either, use WMS layer.

Regards,

Guillaume
