The PostGIS pluging can be used asynchrnonously since Mapnik 2.3 which can reduce map rendering time if you have several PostGIS layers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How it works
|
||||||
|
Mapnik uses the painter's algorithm to render maps. It means that layers are drawn sequentially. The inner algorithmer is :
|
||||||
|
For each layer
|
||||||
|
Query the features from the layer
|
||||||
|
For each feature in this layer
|
||||||
|
Draw the layer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this case, the renderer spends a lot of time waiting for PostGis to perform the query that will feed with features.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The asynchronous_request parameter in PostGIS pulgin aims to parallelize querries on the remote server and rendering : while a layer is rendering, queries are sent ahead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## When to use it
|
||||||
|
Must have :
|
||||||
|
* You have already applyed all the [rendering optimizations with PoistGIS](/wiki:OptimizeRenderingWithPostGIS/)
|
||||||
|
* you have a lot of PostGIS layers
|
||||||
|
Nice to have :
|
||||||
|
* rendering time for layers are quite homogeneous
|
||||||
|
* your PostGIS database is on another server
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## When not to use it
|
||||||
|
* you use cache-features=false ; if you want to reduce map rendering time, you should not send the same data base query twice if you have enough RAM to store the query restults
|
||||||
|
* you have less thant 3 PostGIS layers
|
||||||
|
* you have very heterogenous layers : for example, a huge road layers that takes times longer to render than the other layers
