Thanks for those graphs!

On a side note:
bw-noicons  needs  double  the  time  for rendering as osm-no-lables -
shouldn't they be more-a-less equal in cpu-time?


[The following is only about 'full'-styles]

Looking at Zoom 12:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.4592&lon=10.9644&zoom=12&layers=M

Do we really need a weekly update on that zoom? What you can see is:
- main streets (secondary and up) and trains
- forests and fields
- names of villages and cities

IMHO those things don't change often enough to let them jam the queue.
Rendering them once a month would be ok.



Secondly:
Is  it  correct,  that  tiles  never  get  deleted? So every tile gets
rerendered  according  to the timetable, no matter if it was requested
from  a  user  during that period or not? So maybe a deletion strategy
would be handy..


Regards,
Thomas
