About the GD library: the dowload site (http://www.boutell.com/gd/) is
down, and there is no indication how long this will be so. There is a
link to the code repository, but no standard tar-file is to be found
there. Since MapServer cannot be compiled without GD, would it make
sense to provide a tarball on mapserver.org?

I believe GD had its own font caching built in or it used some Freetype

Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Layer rendering performance problem
what mapserver version and renderer/driver are you using?
AGG should'nt be accessing the font file unless a new character is
encountered. For GD I don't know.

Thanks guys. I will give this ago. Any ideas about poor performance when
using a true type font? Why does MapServer need to load the .ttf file each
time to draw a symbol. Surely the ttf file should be cached?
Rgards,

Hi Jukka,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. No I haven't tried this. How
is this done and what is the benefit? Aren't Shape files already indexed?
Regards,
Jon-Paul.
Jukka is right, always make sure to run the shptree commandline utility on
all of your ESRI shapefiles before using them in MapServer
(http://mapserver.org/utilities/shptree.html). You'll see huge speed
differences.
