[OpenLayers-Users] WFS performance issue

[Max Stephan]

Hello list,

I´m using WFS with my GeoServer and OpenLayers to serve some polygons to my
WebGIS-Application (I´m not using WMS in this case which I know is better
performancewise cause I need the ability to select and to hover the features
with visual feedback which is much easier with Vector Features than with
WMS).

Actually I´m querying my GeoServer with code like this:
wfsLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WFS(....);
Using firebug I can see that each request takes up to 6 seconds (which is
way too long in my opinion). In addition OpenLayers is rerequesting every
time I pan the map, even when it´s only 1 pixel.

I´ve read here and seen in the examples that it´s recommended to use BBOX
and/or FIXED-Strategy in combination with an vectorlayer.
I tried that like this:
	var wfsLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("WFS", {
                strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX()],
                projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:31468"),
		protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({
                        url:  "http://...",
                        featureType: "...",
			srsName: 'EPSG:31468',
			extractAttributes: true
                    })
                });
In firebug I can see that there is a response containing all the features in
the bbox with the right coordinates and attributes. But: Those features
don´t show on the map at all.

Any help is appreciated
Thx in advance
Max Stephan
