I was thinking that the server determines the complexity of a tileset simply by the size of its tilesetfile, no need for more databases with 16 mio more entries and translates that into a complexity value between 1-10 as it is now or so. But I will discuss this with deelkar once things have settled down a bit.

Why not just have the user set a maxcomplexity value in the config. He knows how much RAM the machine has.
