Hi everyone,
I'm looking for insight into dealing with large amounts of raster data in QGIS; 
at the moment I'm really interested in just displaying background images, not 
doing raster analysis.

Trying to add several hundred ecw images takes an extremely long time and a lot 
of memory.  I thought QGIS might establish the location of each image but only 
load images that are visible in the map extents (and maybe adjacent images, to 
speed up panning and zooming).  However it seems like it must be loading all of 
the images.  Is that right?

Would it be better for me to install some sort of tile server that I can load 
the images into and connect QGIS to?  How do other people deal with large 
amounts of raster data?

Thanks,
Alister
