That map is truly the most stunningly over-populated map I have ever seen;
desktop, web or hard copy.
In this case you seem to have lots of overlapping polygonal data, so I would
definitely follows Andreas original advice and structure your data so that
it makes sense, ie, it models the real world. Arbitrarily combining things
isnt going to help anything. With that much data, you are going to have to
pre-tile it all anyway to get decent end-user performance, so the debate
about layers versus SLD probably isnt that important.
Since you say that the symbology is set, perhaps you can generate a legend
as a static image one that just shows the important layers.

Subject: [Geoserver-users] What makes more sense?...lots of layers or a
complicated sld?
Hi,
thanks for the replies.
I understand that it doesn´t seem reasonable to even consider putting so
much detail into a webmap, but the problem is that is it a government
program (called a regional development plan) in which all this information
has to been shown. The contents are predefined and so is the symbology.
I could try and put all point symbols together and all line symbols etc, but
then there is the problem that the legend will be too long to display.
Here is a html version of the map t show how complicated the program is.

thanks again for your tips,
