Not to sound simplistic, but it never HURTS to use it, so why not use it 
every time? Only takes a second, doesn't even increase the disk usage.

[mapserver-users] speed optimization with shptree - when is it wothwhile?

2008-10-16 Thread Mark Volz
Hello,

 

I am currently experimenting with the shptree utility.  I notice that shptree
increases the drawing performance on shapefiles that have thousands of
features.  However, I was wondering what the threshold number of features in
a shapefile is before I should use the utility.  For example should I use
ShpTree for shapefiles that have 100 features or wait until there are 1,000
features in the shapefiles?  If anyone has any advice as to when I should use
ShpTree let me know.

 

Thanks,
