Given that osmosis finished within 3.5h, I'd say we should investigate whether the planet is 100% compatible to the ruby dump script. If yes, then we should switch to that. I rather have a proper tool doing the fetching which will also be able to only fetch diffs and other clever stuff later.

I am only concerned becuase the osmosis dump uses 4.1GB while the planet dump is now at 5.1GB and still growing.
