I've just compiled mapserver 5.6.4 in an FGS enviromnment, and when I rendered a map I noticed that it was taking a very long time. Once the image was displayed, it seemed that the largest scale class for each layer had been used for a rather small scale map. I've attached a 5.6.3 and 5.6.4 example of the same mapfile. Is there something that I haven't changed that's needed for 5.6.4? I recall reading that 5.6.4 wouldn't require any modifications for users?
I see a similar effect--it looks like mapserv 5.6.4 calculates scale somewhat differently than 5.6.3 did, so that in order to get the same effect, I needed to reduce the values of maxscaledenom and minscaledenom by a factor of 10. Now I must admit that in the digital context I don't understand what scale really means, but I'm happy to find a value that works and use it. I was surprised to not see any mention of this in the changelog from the 5.6.4 release. Is this a side effect of something else? Peter -- Peter N.
