Usually yes.

The priority would be increased if it was requested with a higher priority.

We add 1-2,000 changed tiles every 6 hours and the API is currently 
capable of satisfying between 200-300 requests per hour. Do the math :-)

The current bottleneck is not the lack of clients, it is a lack of 
successful API replies.

There are a couple of independent projects for a more performant 
read-only API but none of them is in production mode yet.

The machines need to be quite powerful to render tiles, especially if 
its complex one.
