If you didn't manage to attend the "Throw Away Your Tile Cache" webinar, here are the powerpoint slides i used, as well as a video recording.
It was a real pleasure to show off the hard work of the IWS engineers in this webinar. The team constantly impress with their mantra "performance".
Hardware resources and hardware speed are just like money. There is never enough! You always want faster! Even with the multi-core systems that are out today, you still want more speed. Yeah, your new computer might seem fast now, but give it a week (or a couple of days)...
This is why I really, really like the IWS development engineers. They will go to amazing lengths to get the most out of hardware.
Many engineers or engineering teams out there don't have this sort dedication to performance. They just think that more hardware can be bought. But, we know, that there is never enough. Even if you can afford it.
Getting the most out of your hardware is definitely going to help in todays economics. Regardless of what your hardware vendor (or maybe IT guy) says!
So, please enjoy:
