The way we're transcoding the SVG into a rendered image is really
really slow and clunky.

I've also noticed that we're incurring the cost of loading the tile
image more than once as we iterate through the tile list. Right now
we're not checking for an already loaded tile image, which is slowing
things down considerably.

Once we fix some of the image loading and rendering issues, the load
times will decrease immensely.
