[Tilecache] how to speed up tilecache seeding in Tilecache_seed.py

[Josh Livni]

Alireza,

You should ensure you don't accidentally have multiple tilecache.cfg's on
your system (maybe reading from one with the wrong metatile setup), and if
you still have troubles then post your tilecache.cfg (and your tilecache
version) so we can see what is misconfigured.
