Afaik, it's not terribly computationally intensive.
To be honest, I don't see it being particularly useful to do this - much easier just to offer pre-made garmin files for different countries e.g. UK, Germany or regions e.g. Benelux. Or in other words, just automated the production, and work on the availability of maps. Most people (outside the community) just want to get the map on their gps, rather than fiddle about with picking areas and so on.
