Hi Steve, Thanks for your reply. However, most of my datasources are vector data. I've created a spatial index on the shapefiles, but with 4 000 000 features it still takes a long time to load everything.
Should I increase ram, or cpu? or Both? the machines have 8 GB ram atm. I'm not sure what mapserver needs in heavy configurations. Besides the page on mapserver.org i dont find much on improving performance for load intensive systems. 2011/12/9 Lime, Steve D (DNR) <[email protected]> > Apache should be plenty quick.
