Parallelize the render! #19

Open nfitch opened 10 years ago

Map rendering currently executes on one compute node. We should be able to parallelize the map render. It is Manta, after all!

From joyent/minecraft#16:

Since partial rendering would also be nice. Setting how detailed the zoom level gets would also help keep the map file size down. It can grow to be over a gigabyte. Which is much more expensive to store than the 1mb world.tar.gz. It also takes a long time to upload map tiles and re-uploading unchanged map tiles is a waste of time. M-sync could improve this.
