Actually, I don't want thousands of people running the [EMAIL PROTECTED] client 
on their carputer or the office computer which is shut down for every coffee 
break. I rather prefer people who know what they doing and have serious 
crunching power. A complex tile on a low-end computer would take several hours 
and that is not the type of turnaround time, I'd like to reach.

Sure, easier is better, but I don't want the casual OSM mapper to think, "ohh I 
can help OSM by running this thing on that spare box I don't really need 
anymore".
