[Tilesathome] Suggest change in track rendering

[Gert Gremmen]

I have been running T at H client for quite some time now.

I just wondered why this T at H system is still operating.

There must be a compelling reason to continue rendering using osmarender that escapes me.

Mapnik rendered servers seem faster, do not need a distributed network and can be adapted to any ones use as easy. (see the nl server).
Even updates are faster (as long as the daily diffs are
generated)

With the current number of render failures, bugs and no improvement in features, performance and usability, I consider stopping my client.

Please convince me of the opposite !

The patch did not change the widths of the tracks, so it's probably OK if they are made smaller.
