What about a script which could run on dev issuing requests to
localhost. Surely that would be very fast without bypassing the API?

Unfortunately even a 'headless' JOSM would not work since it would
require too much RAM to load the current AND.osm file. The file was
roughly 1GB last time I ran and2osm. In my experience JOSM needs RAM of
several times the size of the OSM file, e.g. a 150MB osm file failed to
load into JOSM with 1GB allocated to the JVM, but worked with 2GB.
