The lowzoom process still runs fine, just a bit slowly. It works no problems at 
all on area of relatively node density. I have just finished running lowzooms 
of all of Australia over the last few days.

To run a lowzoom, you need to have [EMAIL PROTECTED] installed and manually run 
the lowzoom yourself. eg.

perl tilesgen.pl xy 247 164

is the command I have just run to do a lowzoom of the southern part of your 
lake. I've just uploaded it and will start the northern end for you. (upload 
processing is a little slow, it may take a little while to appear).

Dodi and myself are in the process of tweaking Osmarender to improve the 
efficiency of lowzoom processing (and standard processing also hopefully).

Regards,
Brent.
