I've setup a Mapnik tileserver with this steps: https://switch2osm.org/manually-building-a-tile-server-18-04-lts/
This are the specs of my server:
- OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- 8 vcpu's
- 28 GB RAM
I've imported an extract of Europe (Belgium-Netherlands-France-Germany). Tile server is running, but tile generation is very slow. When showing tiles in a leaflet map, it can take 30-40 seconds to render one mapview. I've followed the steps from https://switch2osm.org/manually-building-a-tile-server-18-04-lts/ literally.
Is this normal behaviour?

A key factor in tile rendering is the server configuration. For an example, here is the configuration of the OSM tiles generation server: https://hardware.openstreetmap.org/servers/odin.openstreetmap.org/
Disk access is important, on a cloud based server the disk access may slow tile rendering.
