Hi List,

does anyone have a good knowledge of how MI handles large raster files
that are located on a network server and that are opened on client
workstations.

Basically I am trying to get an idea of the network traffic involved and
also the load on the memory of the client PC based on redraws

Does the local PC hold cached or temp copies of the raster? and then use
them for redraws?
Does each time a pan, scale change or redraw occur is the relevant
raster again received across the network?

Does splitting a very large raster image into tiles and creating a
seamless layer improve performance?

Obvioulsy we have minimised file size using compression.
Also we do not want to hold local copies of the raster files on the
workstations.

TIA.
