A faster source for opencyclemap

I have the feeling that there is more than one source for opencyclemap.org. I discovered and installed GAIA GPS after discovering its existence while searching for opencyclemaps slowliness; in fact, I stumbled across this:

I don't think that I fully understood that post but one thing is for sure: browsing and downloading (with a huge limitation in the free version) maps from opencyclemaps using Gaia is a LOT faster than in Oruxmaps. Is actually that a different source for the same data? I find those maps the best for hiking providing isohypse.

Thanks a huge lot!
