Basically my mapping setup is, from client to server, Openlayers WMS/WFS (Internet Explorer on XP Pro SP3) - Mapserver CGI - Shapefile (Tiffs) or PostGIS (XP Pro SP3 - IIS & FastCGI).
>From boot up, the initial, or first load of maps, takes up to 15 seconds. After that, it flies along fine. I've tried pre-loading in a hidden browser instance but that didn't work. I cannot get that initial load time down at all. Any tips to reduce the time taken for the first load of the software: Specifically Mapserver whether it's creating the map from PostGIS or the shapefile (Tiffs). Many thanks.
