Today I tried to do something similar for the WFS data: just 1 layer
with all required (visible) feature types. But the request itself
takes 6-7 seconds, 750KB of WFS data (gzipped) is returned. I saved
such a response into a text file, it was almost 7MB. So it takes 10-15
seconds until the user can proceed (request is completely finished
with all wfs being processed and wms tiles are loaded). This probably
won’t be fast enough.
But how much of this data to you want? Request only the attribute fields
you want and dont bring down the shape. Do anything you want to do with
the shape via WMS.
