I was going to recommend this option as well -- it has the advantage
that you won't need to deal with getting a whole bunch of vector data
and then figuring out how to render it, although it would require more
disk space than rendering vectors on the fly. I estimate that
rendering the US down to zoom level 16 would require about 130 million
tiles, or about 40 GB of cache.
