Ivan, Those numbers look impressive. We are just starting to set up some new hardware here and I plan to do some testing also. Perhaps we can collaborate and come up with a test suite in order to track these numbers across builds. Mike -- Michael Smith RSGIS Center ERDC - CRREL US Army Corps

Mike and Ivan, I'd like to see them also compared to a caching solution, like GeoWebCache, or TileCache. These effectively create a file-based database of little bitty tiles at certain resolutions, kind of like a tile pyrimid that is created gradually over time as the image data is accessed.

Hi Frank, I'm not sure I completely agree about your apples/oranges, here's why: We are in the process of putting together a big raster server, so I'm evaluating the best way to proceed. I'm quite familiar with putting raster tiles in a database, did that way back in the last century. I've

Frank, My point is that a tile caching approach is really comparing tile caching performance to rendering-on-demand performance while I think the original point was that rendering-from-database and rendering-from-filesystem could have similar performance for input raster data. D'accord.

Hmm, I went to that session last year and ran into Ming Tsou several times throughout the conference, maybe I can work out some sort of collaboration with him, so that if you don't switch sessions we can at least announce each others sessions and do PR together. Thanks, Alex Eric Wolf wrote:
