Ok, but what I was thinking of was more --write-api-change. This way
all the stuff still goes via the API, but by running it directly on
the server via the loopback interface you don't have the RTT and
bandwidth limitations.

I was more asking if TomH had any problem with running the program
osmosis, being written in Java. I could well imagine the
--write-mysql-change not quite being up to it yet.

This is a SMOP (simple matter of programming). I might do this. At the
very least the --sort stuff will be useful.

Have a nice day,
