A good reason I see for not setting too big TIFF stripes is fast access to small samples in the file. If you just want to read one single pixel, reading 64 MB can still take around 2 or 3 seconds depending on the storage medium, file system, etc... _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
