Actually, judging by the speed at which they're coming in on my dial-up link, you must be serving up just the screen size image that fits the .geo file. In other words you're doing some processing on the base map images to come up with a specific image for each remote request we do, which matches the custom .geo you send us. If we ever had to replace this functionality we'd probably go with a MapServer instance somewhere serving up WMS images in a similar manner. We already have support for WMS in our code. Thanks again for fixing it! This might keep them pesky Canadians happy a bit longer.
