Actually these tiles are rendered by users who run the [EMAIL PROTECTED] software (at least that's how some tiles get generated, I don't know if there's another method). The software/script downloads the data beforehand and then starts rendering immediately. This takes some time, but not longer than 2-3h on my machine per "render job", so a week out of date seems odd… maybe someone else can give you a hint though.
