Paul Ramsey created GEOS-5027:
---------------------------------

             Summary: ST_Simplify in the PostGIS driver for performance
                 Key: GEOS-5027
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-5027
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: PostGIS
    Affects Versions: 2.1.3
            Reporter: Paul Ramsey
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
            Priority: Minor

By wrapping the geometry column in the SQL generated by the driver in an "appropriate" call to ST_Simplify, rendering can be sped up by avoiding pushing un-needed data through the pipes to GeoServer. This approach has been tested on MapNik and seen 75% increases in speed for complex inputs. The "appropriate" call will need to figure out a simplification parameter based on the size and bounds of the output image being generated.
