This is an offline render, internet speed shouldn't have any effect.
The lack of caching of previously rendered areas is annoying.
That is annoying.
Even though I use an offline layer, the online is actually faster to render. It's like the cache system is broken, even though it clearly works when the device is in airplane mode.
However, I will admit that OSMAnd is the least performant of the map apps that use OSM data (or any other map/navigation app, really).

Well yeah, if you get some beefy server somewhere else to do the rendering it will be quicker.
I don't know if Organic Maps and the like actually store vector tiles locally to get the speed up or what, but they're clearly doing something better.
I tend to only run mapping/navigation software offline, and this type of poor performance has only been noticeable on OSMAnd.
It's nowhere near as bad as it once was, but it's still not great.
