I guess it would work, but I just ran out of disk space without knowing why 
(behavior was quite different then expected). So that made me think it was a 
bug.

Currently I'm working on a small area, but it will target the entire world. 
Maybe I need to split the world into a few sub areas first (e.g. Europe, 
North America, South America, Afrika and Asia) before cutting them into 
small pieces.

That sounds great. Will it be able to split ways at the edges by adding a 
node on the edge or somesuch feature? Looking forward to this.
