The generate_tiles script, based on an old mapnik version, allows customizable rendering of OpenStreetMap data with optimized processes, handling empty tiles and skipping unnecessary rendering to save time.
Optimizations include skipping rendering children of water tiles, assuming data reuse between zoom levels for faster rendering by leveraging OS caching, resulting in efficient batch rendering with significant time savings.
The personalized script is effective, utilized for years due to its efficiency compared to traditional renderd, offering enhanced performance by leveraging the user's powerful computer for rendering and then transferring to a server.
The author intends to create a personalized tile server due to efficiency concerns, emphasizing the advantages of their optimized script over standard solutions like renderd for OpenStreetMap data rendering production.
