The Need for Speed...

Performance is the universal feature, and the latest Geoserver vs Mapserver results indicate that there are places throughout the C stack that can use improvement.

Proj4

Run Mapserver under load and review where Proj4 takes a hit (everywhere)
Caching of PJ structs, Should make QGIS and Mapserver faster.
Parsing of proj strings. Switching from the hand-coded parser to flex-generated parser might yield some improvement.

Mapserver

Run the Geoserver benchmark tests under profiler and review results
Single-pass querying, will bring WFS speed up to par
Mapserver as Apache module, removes FastCGI instability and is potentially even faster, see #2565
