My mapserver experience is relatively little, but I & some co-workers have played with it on several platforms over the last year or so. 64bit Linux on AMD64/Opteron cpus with as much memory and as fast a disk setup as you can afford has worked MUCH faster for me than other alternatives. 32bit Linux is second, and any Windows setup is a very distinct third. Intel cpu's were consistently slower than AMD, and showed less benefit from moving to a 64 bit Linux. I'd guess there are load & configuration issues around these, which would impact on the actual numbers, but I'll back these comparisons, at least for my applications :-) FWIW, for my main application I have about 8Gb vector data in a Postgres/Postgis database, 2.5Gb of shapefiles and 3Gb of imagery sitting behind mapserver. Cheers, Brent Wood
