[OpenLayers-Users] Any performance difference between Layer.Mapserver and Layer.WMS?

[Adrian Popa]

Hello,

Just wondering if it pays out to migrate my "legacy" Mapserver layers to 
WMS layers. Is there a speed/security benefit in doing so? Or is it just 
recommended because WMS is a standard? Does Mapserver itself have better 
performance in WMS mode compared to its cgi mode?

To me, it seems Mapserver needs to do the same things while rendering 
the map so if there's a speed benefit it isn't obvious...

Thanks,
Adrian
