Do you have any idea on how to put wikimedia tiles under a CDN like
Cloudflare ? Current tiles are hosting at about 220ms from here.
I've thought to regenerate them on the fly with a local tileserver but
we have to import the whole europe/world map to Postgresql and this
takes weeks and tons of ram that we don't have.
