Hi Martin,

I have done a bit of work with the tiles at home stuff during the last
few days myself.
* There are 16777216 (16m) theoretical level-12 tiles.
* tiles at home has 1725217 (1.7m) level-12 tiles.
* Of those, only 28237 tiles are larger than 1000 bytes; the others
are probably empty.
* 41852 level-12 tiles should theoretically exist, judging from OSM
data we have.
I cannot quite explain the gap between the last two numbers, as I've
used the distributed tile generation during the last few days to re-
generate about 30.000 tiles which were either outdated or missing,
and I had hoped to close that gap. I guess that many of the 41852
tiles that have OSM data might contain data that is not rendered, so
that a request for rendering one of these tiles results in an empty
tile.
I'll have to investigate this because otherwise I'll continue to
request rendering of tiles that I think must be missing, only to find
that rendering them has no effect!
From the work done in the previous days I can say that with the
current participants, about 10k level-12 tiles can be rendered on
tiles at home in one day.
Bye
Frederik
