You may have explained all this on this list 1,000 times (which I very 
much doubt), but I couldn't find any of it properly documented anywhere on 
the Wiki...

I'd wager that having Osmosis download 1440 minutely diffs and assemble 
them into a daily diff is going to take significantly more time than just 
wgetting a single daily diff.  However, I can't verify my assumption at 
the moment because I'm having to spend my time battling (and currently 
failing) to get a honking great Java application (Osmosis) to work to do 
all this.  I'm afraid this seems like a retrograde step to me, compared 
with the relative simplicity of stuffing diffs directly into osm2pgsql.
