That got my attention! In one dir say I have 20k .png images. In that same dir I have 400 .shp tileindexes which point to them. I.e. each tileindex points to 50 of those .png's. Are you saying that when I send a MS viz request based on a specific tileindex .shp, I could be scanning the whole dir (depending on my version of gdal)?
