(BTW, I committed that change to svn, so if you update, the lowzoom should point to the "tile" upload layer already.

I would expect that 80n's Zappy API can't take *too* much load. So I would expect that only a handful of people (like 5-10) should run the t at h client configured to lowzoom. These machines need to be pretty powerful, as it takes quite some crunching.

I have one box runnning ATM, which renders low zoom tiles as they are requested and uploads them into the regular layer. So you could say, it's official now. :-)
