You are right, it is not simple to set up.  Another program mentioned here
was "trickle".  That one is very easy to use (although I have not tried it
myself for TaH).  You could try something like:

  trickle -d 50 perl tilesGen.pl loop

to limit it to 50kbps.  See

for more information.

There are two config options to help with inkscape crashing.  Take a look
at MaxTilesetComplexity, which will tell the server not to give you too
complex tiles, and RenderStripes, which divides the tile up to let you
render complex ones in several pieces.
