I have read Brenden and David's post (gis.thinkgeo.com/Support/Dis...fault.aspx) about the reasons behind why the layer needs to be loaded twice for labels to display properly but I am not clear on what performance implications this has in comparison to the 2.0 control. It is mentioned that some testing should be conducted to find out the most efficient method, does anyone have any numbers to share?
Common sense would say that we would be using double the memory and creating double the overhead I/O at some point in the bitmap creation process because we are opening the same shapefile twice regardless of the extent. Is this incorrect?
Are the performance implications different for shapefiles, SQL2008 layers, PostGIS/GRE Layers as far as memory usage and processing overhead are concerned when declaring the layer twice for labeling purposes?
Thanks!
