Not the wrong path, but you didn't speak about client side for the 
(non-svg-)slippy map. Tile generation could be improved on the server 
side, but I think we could also improve the client side.

Things like :
- Downloading tiles on the middle of the screen first
- Reuse tiles from previous zoom level
- Prevent unneeded tile download (when the map is moved before all tiles 
are here)
- package and document it for mashups
