Hello,
we are using a WMS only client and want to switch to geoserver.
Is geoserver using the precalculated tiles to response faster on WMS queries?
I think of the following procedure:
- Choose the next “better” zoom step
- Compose the “larger” picture using the tiles
- Cut the requested area
- Send the result
If geoserver not working this (or similar) way how can we get fastest results at WMS quries?

Afaik GeoWebCache has the ability to do this with its WMS. See http://geowebcache.org/docs/current/services/wms.html
Ian, cced, I believe started some work to make it so the embedded GWC could do the same tile recombination to a WMS call with one or two vendor parameters. I’m not sure if we got it all the way back in to the core, as the project we built it for I believe has not deployed it yet.
Note this strategy should work well for raster data, but for vector you will likely get some fuzziness for requests between zooms.
In general getting the fastest results depends on how you prepare your data. If you’re using raster data than inner tiling and overview on geotiffs can get you to very fast speeds. See http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/production/data.html
