Thanks, I'll check that out. <br><br>As for the processor and stuff I'm using imagery that takes up several gigs in tiff files. Once I don't use that things work fine. Should it work fine with this much data?<br><br><div>

<br>'metatile' that is being created. MapServer ends up drawing a much<br>larger map that it normally would be asked to. This has some<br>definite implications for your configuration. You can try reducing<br>the tile size and/or reducing the number of tiles in a metatile to
<br>get the combined size down to something that mapserver can produce in<br>a reasonable time. For instance, try tile sizes of 200 x 200 and<br>either 4x4 metaWidth/metaHeight and see if you get a bit more out of<br>your dev server. Note that is a pretty good machine for this type of
<br>stuff so I am a bit suprised. Have you tried benchmarking<br>performance with just mapserv cgi on that mapfile? We've tried to<br>keep the tile.php pretty lean but there could still be room for<br>improvement.<br><br>
