I'm curious how much faster it is rather than downloading images
You mean how much faster downloading vector tiles are in comparison to raster tiles?
I think pre-rendering makes the biggest difference, rather than the type of tiles.
Loading vector tiles should require significantly less data/bandwidth while also offering completely linear scaling without any steps. I hope this works well enough to eventually replace the current implementation.
It says in the repo that each file is 450 bytes. And served by nginx which might be compressing it further. So yeah, super duper tiny.
