Hi,
emptying the queue of patches I still had on my disk before attempting
the acegi merge, I committed a fix for GEOS-1130, that is, the test
for the shapefile renderer on trunk.
That renderer comes from udig and should be able to render shapefiles
very quickly, and to fall back on the streaming rendererer on other formats.
Well, let's give it a shot and see if it improves things and it's stable
enough to become the default renderer of choice (I still think we could
have quite a bit of the hacks inside the shapefile renderer moved to
the streaming one once we have query hints, but that's another story
At the request of some users last year Jesse made the shapefile renderer, fallback to the normal streaming renderer when it sees something in the context that is not a shapefile.
So it should now be a general purpose renderer that happens to contain an optimized path for shapefiles. You are correct about using query hints to get 80% of the benefit for the general case - udig was just being evaluated on shapefile rendering speed and the amount of email required to get query hints to go was not going to be worth it until there was proof of benefit.
This year with a process around, and three solid use cases the query hints should go forward.
