Use hash-based permalinks about openstreetmap-website HOT 6 CLOSED

Yes, it goes straight to apache - most of the site is inherently uncacheable anyway, at least as things stand.

You might have noted that I do have hash based links on http://maps.compton.nu/ already ;-) I wrote some custom controls that and it was always my intention to merge them with the existing OL controls and submit those upstream so we could use hash based links on osm.org.

It's a bit too broad to open a ticket for it, but what's your feeling as far as the clearest performance problems/areas for improvement? Would partials caching do anything, or is it mostly a few slow SQL queries?

The biggest performance problems tend to be with API calls, and the main answer there is to get them out of rails and into cgimap...

Partials caching is (in my experience) very hard to get right - we are using it in a few places and it was an absolute nightmare to get rid of the bugs. Quite likely there are still some in fact...

As a first step toward this, I was looking at moving the existing parameter processing to the client side, which also helps with #78.

If you're looking at that then looking at trying to get rid of the duplication between the view and edit pages would be good as well...

Implemented!
