Yesterday Sebastian Spaeth (spaetz), Christopher Schmidt (crschmidt) and I set up the new server that will host the tiles@home project to relieve the dev server.
It's a nice machine with lots of fast storage, so currently we're seeing a speedup of at least factor 2. The actual speed increase is difficult to see, because the currently running clients do not manage to keep the queue to any significant length, so if you have a tiles@home upload account, update your client to the newest revision and start rendering!
There are some small issues still, like there is no fall-through to the old dev tiles yet, but nothing that would hinder normal rendering, and we're working on those so they should disappear soon.
as Steve Coast would say:
Have fun :)
