Hi there,
for a special purpose I've developed an static version application based
on MapServer CGI, which means I just use pure HTML tages for the GUI,
even without JavaScript code snippets to validate forms.
I have about 20 map layers to display according to different map scale
(ussing the MAXSCALE, SYMBOLSCALE AND LABELMAXSCALE), there are no data
classifications within a layer object, the status of all layers are set
as default.
I've made a test on a standalone MapServer (XP system), every request
takes about 3 second. Obvioursly it's not fast enough for a web
application, since there may be many users requesting the server at the
same time if the application is published on the web.
Is MapServer really so slow? can anybody give me some ideas?should I
modify the mapfiles?
I am wondering whether the following solutions will work:
1. define every layer as a seperate mapfile, and combine them together
by request
2. turn off the non-displayed layers off on the fly
are these possible to speed up MapServer performance?

Make sure ALL *.shp have a *.qix file using shptree <file>.shp
on Linux you can run:
find /path/to/data -name "*.shp" -exec shptree {} \;
and that will do it, on Windows you are on your own :)
