Hi, can someone explain me, why is it necessary to render empty tiles? For example see this tile http://tah.openstreetmap.org/Browse/details/tile/12/2200/620/ It is totally empty (or full of sea). And rendering this tile took about two minutes. I think this is a waste of time to render empty tiles. And as the ocean covers around 60 percent of the earth's surface it is a lot of optimization potential. The same is true for ice covered regions of Arctic and Antarctica. If there are no nodes or paths on the tile, it can be replaced by an predefined empty image. Right?
