For a test you might want to zoom in to a zoom level of about 1:5000. And then 
wait a little while. Because if you first had a large zoom level even my 
4Core-2.1 GHz Cpu needs about 8 seconds to render the Europe image the first 
time. But after having it rendered once it will be cached and it should show 
up a lot faster.
Another thing you might want to try is to increase the Debuglevekl to see what 
really happpens.
