However, rendering this takes my computer a good 1.5 seconds, during which the browser hangs – too long to be practical in an interactive web app with impatient users. :p

Both of those are, however, a significant improvement over the last attempt:

Note that this one was erroneously rotated and flipped.

Of course, the minimap built into SL is significantly better than all of the above. But hey! :p
