I noticed in the FOSS4G benchmark, or "WMS Shootout" tests that Mapnik/paleoserver did quite well. In the below email you mentioned that you were also going to test Mapnik/WMS implementation from Geofabrik (mod_mapnik_wms), but I did not notice any mention of results from mod_mapnik_wms. Also how would the not reprojected vector rendering performance of WMS Mapnik/paleoserver compare to the the protocol that openstreetmap.org uses?
