Thomas and others, I noticed that "labelcache_map_edge_buffer" is in the web metadata section. So apparently this will only work if I use WMS? I am not sure that this will work in my situation. All of my operational layers are in one mapfile. This way I can take advantage of label collision avoidance. In addition, any layer may be turned on or off by the user. For me to create a mapcache, I would either have to separate each layer which would mean I would lose collision avoidance functionality, or I would need to create caches for each combination of layers that can be turned on or off which would be a night mere to manage.
I would like to see if there is a way to take advantage of "labelcache_map_edge_buffer" directly in mapserver mode, instead of wms mode. This way I could take advantage of our multi-core server, and allow users to pan around much faster!
