Tiles are not gzipped

reyemtm commented 2 years ago

gzip can lead to larger file sizes
tippecanoe seems to use a 0 buffer - the lowest limit for geojson-vt for file size seems to be 16
geojson-vt writes more tiles than tippecanoe - most likely due to how it clips features using the buffer or with how the bbox is defined
in certain circumstances vtile is actually faster than tippecanoe
