- testing against cgi isn't really an objective test, but even so the differences will iron out as soon as the actual workloads are not trivial (i.e. if you're just benchmarking getcapabilities then sure, mapscript keeping in memory your mapfile will be orders of magnitude faster than cgi. switching to complex map draws will show very similar performance between both options) - using fastcgi will somewhat iron out the differences on trivial workloads - certain mapscript scripts will leak non trivial amounts of memory, forcing server restarts periodically if you don't have an infinite amount of memory available.
with all that said, my recommendation is to stick with cgi/fastcgi unless you have very specific needs that force you to use mapscript. -- thomas On Wed, Nov 7, 2012 at 9:42 AM, Umberto Nicoletti < umberto.nicole...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have tested cgi against python mapscript (with mod_python) and the > performance improvement, as expected, is massive. > > > On Wed, Nov 7, 2012 at 8:53 AM, Spirifer <ready...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I would to use MapServer to create WMS/WFS services. >> >> I think to compare 2 systems to produce services: >> 1) Apache + MapServer CGI + static mapfile (.map) >> 2) Apache + MapScript PHP + map configuration in cache >> >> Somebody has tested the performance between the mapfile and MapScript ? >> >> Thanks. >> >> >> >> -- >> View this message in context: >> http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Mapfile-VS-MapScript-performance-tp5014463.html >> Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >> _______________________________________________ >> mapserver-users mailing list >> mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org >> http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users >> > > > _______________________________________________ > mapserver-users mailing list > mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users > >
