<p>Good point, so there's a balance. However, how important is it that update of the map is immediate for every database update? To me it seems more desirable to have a higher quality cartography at the price of a lower update rate. Longer tile generation times won't affect serving rate, just how quickly you see your edits appear in the map, which by the way seems to have improved significantly since I started mapping.</p>
<p>You could argue, that the default style should focus on speed and commercial third party providers can focus on quality. While I think that argument has some merit, I see a problem as openstreetmap-carto is the de-facto driver for general-purpose tagging. If basic cartography features concerning naming for example doesn't appear on that or are rendered poorly, mappers won't be motivated to tag properly for it. One example is making a multipolygon instead of the semantically superior group, as multipolygon actually renders.</p>

<div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">I have not understood why there are these CPU limits, if it's "just" due to under-financed server infrastructure, or if it is a problem that can't be solved regardless of server infrastructure. As a layman one would think that some of these algorithms could run on GPU clusters these days, but I have no idea... it feels a bit problematic though if the quality of OSM's cartography is held back due to limited server infrastructure.</div>

<div>if you want to create a map for publishing it, you can also do computationally expensive tasks in the process, but if you are updating and republishing continuously, every minute, you will want to reduce the computational effort.</div>
