I don't think the extra complexity of the shields slows down the time it takes to render them. But the tiles themselves on the shield map take way longer to load than on osm.org (which is why I really want the shields on the main OSM website), which I guess is because of a slower tileserver.
Also, would it be possible to render the shields on ferry routes? In the state of WA, many of the ferry routes are legally part of the highway system and as such, I've added them to the route relations. If this isn't possible, that's okay. I was just wondering. I appreciate your efforts in all this. Best luck in getting all the county highway shields to render; be glad you won't have any from my corner of this great nation!
