[ka-Map-users] problem with compressed images

[Michael Schwarz]

hi...
ecw file format works right well for me! thanks a lot, Pēteris ...

now i want to measure performance of kamap by using ecw  vs. jpg images.
but it's not enough to say it's fast. i have to prove it!
may you tell me a tool to get the time which the browser needs to load
the map with kamap?
