it would be very easy to run a "keep-alive" signal to insure client is still
working. That keep alive signal should contain :
 - a key (I think all clients have a key),
 - which tile is been proceed,
 - if possible, the percent of work done.

this signal could be send every 1/2 hour.

I have seen where complexity is computed on tiles at home server. All I have found
is some "select complexity from ..." but no insert to the database.

complexity = 3 is very easy,
complexity = 9 is very long to compute,
yesterday, I had a 10 one and could not finished on my home computer.

I think, we should have the possibility to configure max_complexity in
our client
to insure best performance. The top list
(http://tah.openstreetmap.org/Credits/) should
take into account tiles complexity. Hum, yes, we all have a dream to
go upper and
upper in this list :-)
