Actually, I don't want thousands of people running the t at h client on their carputer or the office computer which is shut down for every coffee break. I rather prefer people who know what they doing and have serious crunching power. A complex tile on a low-end computer would take several hours and that is not the type of turnaround time, I'd like to reach.
Sure, easier is better, but I don't want the casual OSM mapper to think, "ohh I can help OSM by running this thing on that spare box I don't really need anymore".
