Hi all- We have a need to up MS_MAXLAYERS, we need to have large numbers of layers in our mapfiles. We are thinking perhaps as high as 8000. Does anyone have any thoughts on problems we might encounter by doing this or other things we need to change at the same time? Are there any other compile time contants that should be increased at the same time as MS_MAXLAYERS?
Ben, I think you will see parsing of the .map file become a dominant cost with this many layers. i really suspect you should either be looking at some sort of tileindex based approach or using mapscript to dynamic create the layers needed for a given request.
