However, once a tile reaches a certain complexity (e.g. around Rotterdam), then it is not possible to render it successfully on a 1GB machine - thrashing sets in, %cpu drops off to 0 and no work is done. Under these cirumstances, Inkscape tends to crash, while Batik keeps going, but never finishes the tile.
I had the same issue (2GB, Linux). After patching the tilesGen.pl

-    my $Cmd = sprintf("%s \"%s\" tr %s %s > \"%s\"",
+    my $Cmd = sprintf("%s \"%s\" tr --maxdepth 30000 %s %s > \"%s\"",}}

(line 956 or so)

the rendering of complex tiles worked. I was seeing this hint on
Tilesathome or Talk-de recently. Maybe someone could give this a try.
