Using the MapServer layer in TileCache is also not recommended, since Python Mapscript leaks like a sieve. (In theory, it might have slightly lower latency. In practice, latency to a local HTTP host is so much lower than the time for rendering that it can be ignored.) -- Chris > Sorry. > -- > > On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 12:18 PM, Bart van den Eijnden <[email protected]> > wrote: > There is no MapScript involved, this straight Mapserver CGI. > > I don't expect any noticeable performance difference. > > You're probably referring to TileCache? > > Best regards, > Bart > > -- > Looking for flexible support on OpenLayers or GeoExt?
