To be serious, I consider distributed rendering "broken by design". Here is why: Distributed computing is usually a good idea when computing takes more time than data transmission. Otherwise it just does not make sense to transmit the data rather then just computing it right at the place where it is needed. What is probably needed for OSM in the long run is some kind of geographically distributed rendering e.g. rendering divided by continent.
