Hello,
I have a map that contains a web service with 70+ layers. I want to work on optimizing the draw speed and reduce the load put on the server when people use this map. Though there are a few exceptions, the majority of the symbols of point layers are shapes taken from the ESRI Optimized style, usually two or three symbol layers:
According to ESRI's documentation, symbols with multiple layers will draw slowly. For symbols like the one above, would it measurably improve server performance to convert them to .svgs? Has anyone tested out the performance of svgs vs a stacked point symbol like this? I've had success converting more complex symbols than the one above to svgs, but it seems like a two-layer symbol shouldn't be that hard to draw in an online environment?
