## Use an extent parameter
If an extent parameter is not set, mapnik will perform a query like this...
`SELECT ST_XMin(ext),ST_YMin(ext),ST_XMax(ext),ST_YMax(ext)`
`FROM (SELECT ST_Extent(geom) as ext from planet_osm_line) as tmp`
```
SELECT ST_XMin(ext),ST_YMin(ext),ST_XMax(ext),ST_YMax(ext)
FROM (SELECT ST_Extent(geom) as ext from planet_osm_line) as tmp
```
...which requires PostGIS to walk the entire result set of the queried table each time the DataSource is used for the first time in a rendering session. There are three parameters available for use
