+1 to Elliot Plack's proposal to use Simplify to remove the redundant<br>
nodes from the poor quality imported buildings.<br>
<br>
In fact, I did this myself for another massive import: User "jumbanho"<br>
imported buildings for the large city of Raleigh, NC back in January<br>
2010.<br>
There were lots of degenerate nodes, which I cleaned up in batches<br>
using JOSM's simplify. I did most of the cleanup in 2015.<br>
