I'd be interested in making similar tests myself. I have access to georeferenced raster datasets as large as 90K x 45K pixels. I also have extensive experience with GDAL (http://www.gdal.org) library which I have used to process such datasets with success
However, I'm still missing specification of operations to be performed. Can we describe Phil's use case in form of reproducible steps, so we can pprogram this use case using with various toolkits/libraries? As the datasets I have are not public data, I could use the True Marble Imagery so the results are comparable.
What you think?
I'm all for it...actually I think we should skip any intermediate 'editing' operations (as these will only obfuscate the test and the results) and just test something simple, like chopping up a huge TIFF into small PNGs... -- "What Huxley teaches is that in the age of advanced technology, spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face than from one whose countenance exudes suspicion and hate."
