[OpenLayers-Users] WMS request timeout during zoom/pan/resize

[Jon Britton]

Ah, I think I understand.  You could still look into client-side tiling
though.  The data will still be created on the fly, but it won't make a new
request every time you pan or resize.

I assume you're generating your data on the fly because it's frequently
updated, if so how often?  Is it not possible to use caching, but clear the
cache every so often?  That might take some strain off your server.
