Hi,
 
All I can say is that with our data the service went all to slow for the end 
users long before jamming.  We have been splitting the biggest lake polygons 
into pieces with no more than 45000 vertises because that was the limit of 
reasonable speed in our environment.  But in that case the limiting factor was 
the database and "contains" queries, not Mapserver.  Anyhow, splitting the 
lakes was good for Mapserver too.  For some other layers we have made 
simplified versions for the far-away zooms. Simplifying is better for WMS use 
if polygons are drawn with different outline colour but it gives a bit more 
work with building the scale dependent layers.

        Aihe: [mapserver-users] Maximum number of points in a poligon
        
        
        Hi All, 

        I have a shape with 2M polygons. The biggest one has 13k points. It 
works very well, and fast enough.

        I have another shape with 300k polygons and the biggest one has 800k 
points... This shape hangs MapServer !... and I have to kill the process by 
hand using kill -9. (see the other thread: process survive after killing 
apache). The shape files can be opened with ogrinfo though

        Is there a maximum number of points for single polygon supported by 
MapServer ?

        Thanks
