[OSM-dev] osmosis too slow to write a changes file to a postgis DB?

[Ian Dees]

What change file are you using? What time frame does it cover?

7200 RPM disks are fairly slow for this sort of intensive database work, but
on similar disks (Caviar Black 7200rpm 1TB drives) it would take anywhere
from 5-70 seconds to apply one minute's worth of diffs.
