Vector tiles are served from cache if it is available there, and are
generated on the fly if there's nothing in cache. Minsk, the "default
city" on demo map, is in cache entirely.

Longer than usual "OSM" mapnik, faster than komap-generated Mapnik
stylesheet - it doesn't have to work around of lots of Mapnik's
problems.

No load balancing / throttling are implemented on serverside for now -
tirex/renderd could be useful if they will let tiles be non-images.

Basically, if you render tens of styles on the same server, kothic-js
will be more effective than mapnik - data is fetched from database
already by the time user needs to render tiles in a second/third/...th
way.
