	We'd be interested in doing some sort of benchmarking, I know we 
get over 1500 map-draws a day, our (tuned) maps are about 6-gigs in size 
including the data uploaded by our users.

	I am personally impressed with the package, and can't say enough 
nice things about it, even to people who don't care!
