Rendering in VirtualBox very slow

0

Hello,

I use ubuntu 16.04. in Virtualbox with Postgresql 9.5, postgis 9.2, mod_tile current git version, 16GiB RAM, 4 CPU, and harddisk non ssd. I use umap as frontend for working with the maps.

Should the VirtualBox fast enough? I dont need it superfast like google maps, but still useable. The rendering is very slow and usable. The Index in the database is created, I checked that. What the problem can be?

Now I try to prerender the whole country...

so, my setup has a normal speed? I dont have a problem to prerender it all, if it working fine...

Actually - looking at the tile numbers above, that's for Antarctica(!) so the "renderd[14336]: DEBUG: DONE TILE default 8 136-143 216-223 in 0.262 seconds" figure isn't very representative. Try dirtying a tile where you have some data...

(14 Nov '16, 15:35) SomeoneElse ♦

And BTW which country are you trying to render (too lazy to check the tiles)?

(14 Nov '16, 16:28) SimonPoole ♦

whole Germany, it cant be Antartica...

(14 Nov '16, 16:29) hevilp

How did you set off that render request? Via render_list, perhaps?

(14 Nov '16, 16:40) SomeoneElse ♦

in normal case, umap sends the renderrequest. that in the example could be from render_list, i dont remember

Low zoom tiles are slow to render even in a more performant setup, that is the main reason you typically pre-render them.

Having the rendering database on SSD would however likely help.

VirtualBox per se shouldn't be the problem (though do check that you've allocated all the CPUs and memory that you think you have). "Time to render" times don't look too slow at z8. For comparison here (cheap "desktop" spec CPU, Virtualbox, SSD, 1 cpu and 5Gb memory allocated):

That's for a 2 tiles in parallel in a detailed area of the UK, which is fairly well mapped. You don't say what style you're using or where, which will also have an effect.
