Re: [mapserver-users] mapcache seed slow
We have 2 dedicated servers that we use to serve the full mapping system and when we update the map we switch the system to just one server and use the other one just to see the new map with a different URL.

Re: [mapserver-users] mapcache seed slow
I don't know how fast is but I have a whole dedicated server just for do that with a development URL that I'm using just to develop, is still configured in HTTP/1, looking to make some test on a new server to setup HTTP/2 with NGINX and possibly WMTS. I'm seeding with a bash file and I can see (with TOP) that it's using about 60/80% CPU usage and other HTTPD requests make it from the APACHE user.
