Thanks for the info guys.  I guessed it would be IO bound (mostly on the
initial database read), but I don't know how complex the rendering
operation is.

If you had plenty of RAM you might squeeze some improvements out of the
system by using a ramdisk for the mod_tile/renderd cache storage just to
see the same tile from hitting the disk multiple times during
render/apache/xastir steps.

Since xastir is already smart enough to cache it would be awesome if xastir
could hit mapnik directly.
