Martin has an in-memory tile cache, which probably makes a difference: https://github.com/maplibre/martin/pull/1105. BBOX caches to a file instead.

The benchmarking repository has config files used for the test, and they did not use the tile cache feature.

It defaults to 512MiB if not configured explicitly to 0 which it’s not in the repository.

Oh that’s interesting, and I’m actually kinda peeved by any database-connected system that caches responses by default. Caching should be reserved as a performance optimization with serious correctness tradeoffs.

Regardless, I don’t think caching came into play here, at least according to how I’m reading this repository. I would expect cold caches for everything.
