| 20 | == Overview == |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Add support internally to the MapGuide Server Engine to render larger tiles |
| 23 | and then slice them up into the normal tile sizes |
| 24 | |
| 25 | == Motivation == |
| 26 | |
| 27 | It's much efficent to render one large tile than many small ones. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | == Proposed Solution == |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Add a meta tile factor to the tile service, which then will render larger tiles |
| 32 | and then slice them up into the smaller tiles which get served to clients. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | == Implications == |
| 35 | |
| 36 | The current approach with polling for lock files is inefficent and |
| 37 | is excaerbated by meta tiling. When using a meta tiling factor of 4, |
| 38 | 15 tiles will wait and poll for 1s while the meta tile is rendered |
| 39 | and sliced up. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Changing to a mutex would help |
