Could you just run through the algorithm tilesgen.pl is using when rendering with Inkscape? I don't really follow how it is doing it.

I am thinking of using Batik to just create large images from the zooms (ie 512,512 form z13, 1024x1024 from z14) and then using Image-magick to cut them. I think it is going to be way faster.

Also, what is with the strange size 

height="878.838012279079px" width="878.909999999848px"

Where does that come from? Is that set, or is it related to the projection? 

Cheers,
Brent.
