I've found the other limiting factors are disk speed (SSD vs HDD) and cache
type.  SQLite can be easy to manage but the write locking during inserts
can really slow things down (adding more cores won't help in this case)
when compared to writing a simple disk cache.

I agree with Scott in that if you are using COGs you shouldn't really need
MapCache as you could look at alternatives to serve this data out as is.
