Lowzoom tiles are important, but (from looking at the tiles list) it  
seems that many people were generating them, probably causing excess  
load. If we could all agree (at least for the time being) that one  
person (e.g. you) and nobody else does level-7 tiles, and you do it  
once a day or so, that would already be an improvement.

As I said earlier, I used to run level-7 jobs by analysing the tile  
statistics file and, by comparing the last-modified time stamps of  
level-12 and level-7 tiles, determining which level-7 tiles need an  
update. I don't do that at the moment. The script is in svn  
(tilesAtHome/tools/currency or so) and needs some adaptation to the  
new format of the tile list. Do you think it would be worthwile to  
revive that?

Bye
Frederik
