[OSM-dev] API very slow this morning

[Styno]

Well besides GPS tracking and mapping to the extend that my GF starts to 
complain, I'm also trying to be helpful by using my knowledge as a 
professional programmer with years of experience with medium sized 
databases (~100GB data in MySQL, Oracle, SQLServer and a bit 
PostgreSQL). I also maintain the OSM forum (I know that's not 
appreciated by everyone, but still :-)) and offered you to do 
benchmarking on the DB/API to determine performance critical parameters.

Because I program all day I don't feel like doing that during the 
evenings/weekends as well. Is that weird? No, I think we all do what we 
can to contribute to this project. Replying with one liners like "Show, 
don't tell" will certainly not help.

Besides that, when there are so many ppl complaining on IRC and the ML, 
shouldn't that be a hint for the sysadmins to act on that? More features 
are nice, but only if the basis is firm.

Anyway, as I said: just trying to be helpful.
