[OSM-dev] hammering the changesets API

[Bernhard zwischenbrugger]

hi all

I want to display recent changesets as Vectorgraphics on the map.
There are some problems and I need help.

To get some real results I have to request 100 changesets.
All the robot changesets I have to filter client side.
The hole thing is slow as hell and I'm not sure if the db is happy with 
that.
Is there a faster way to get the changesets of a map area?

Here a preview of that:

zoom in to the area you are interested in
click to "load changesets".
click to the usernames.
