How well will mapnik scale under load? As I understand it, most mapnik tiles are generated on-the-fly. This is fine when you have a big server and only a few users. But when you have a very large number of users (think Google maps) then would the mapnik approach cope with the load? It seems to me that t...@h is likely to be more scaleable when there are large numbers of users. The t...@h machine will be mainly concerned with serving images to the user rather than rendering and then serving. 80n > > Thoughts? > > Ed > > > > _______________________________________________ > Tilesathome mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tilesathome >
