Hi Simone,

First, GeoServer is fast enough after the first request is done and
paths to all files have been resolved for a certain resolution. I just
wonder why the first request takes such a long time (see GeoServer log
in this mail).

In reply to your questions:
1) GeoServer v2.1.1
2) I've created a pyramid with resolutions: .25, .5, 1, 2, 4, etc.
(m/px) and so i'm actually using the ImagePyramid plugin.
The lower resolutions consist of 1 file per resolution and the high
resolutions (.25 and 1) are thousends of GeoTIFF files.
3) GeoTIFF info:
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: D:\aerialphotos\0.25_28\394222_rgb.tif
Size is 16000, 16000
