| Hi, for web site like yahoo map or google map, I guess the server needs
to generate image at real time to response each request. What kind of
special technique is need here? I mean, millions of people may make
request at the same time, how to handle it? I guess generating image is
very slow...
Thanks,
qq

Not necessarily. Images are typically generated from pre-existing
ready-to-go parts, which require just assembling rather than
generating from scratch.
You can spread the load across different servers, too, e.g. by
doing the assembly on a proxy with a different machine for backend
database.
