I am using openlayers as my front end, mapserver to process my files to load as WMS layers.

I have a bunch of imagery I have divided up into different zoom levels. Two are just single images, both under 100kb in size.

Three are loaded via image catalog/index shape file, the top level has images of about 150kb in size, with about 8 images in view. Next level is around 2m in size, about 6 images in view. Lastly is about 3m in size, 4ish images in view.

Everything looks good, works well, it is just slow and there does not seem to be much difference in how long it takes to load the imagery at each scale, they are all similarly slow. I am thinking that means it is a process issue and I am probably doing something inefficient that is causing the slowness.

Here is my output setup from my map file:

  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME "png"
    MIMETYPE "image/png"
    DRIVER "GD/PNG"
    EXTENSION "png"
    IMAGEMODE RGB
    TRANSPARENT OFF
  END

Here is an example of my Layer:


  LAYER
    NAME "Imagery"
    STATUS ON
    TILEINDEX "1m3px/1m3px_imgcat.shp"
    TILEITEM "location"
    TYPE RASTER
    MAXSCALEDENOM 5000
    MINSCALEDENOM 2000
  END

How does this look? Any other info I can provide that would provide more clarity?

Thanks,

Ken
