[QGIS-Developer] [Server] Is QGIS Server 3 fast yet ? the 2018-02-06

[Yves Jacolin]

Hello,

One tells me that Camptocamp had wrote a proposition about performance
issue with PNG format. I will ask to Patrick if he can do more
performance profiling and if this proposition is still up to date.
Unfortunately not before next 2 weeks :(
