No offence intended. I am sorry. I did only a rather basic
printf-profiling and even haven't tested any alternative implementation,
so I really have no clue about where performance problems are.
But I won't judge from just setting up a localhost cache which is faster
that it would also be better under the same circumstances the osm server
runs currently (mostly because currently nobody but steve know the exact
circumstances ;)
For JOSM, I can say that the time it takes to import the XML data just
doesn't matter. Its under one second and compared to the very inperformant
internal data storage done by Java its just not relevant. There are other
reasons instead of speed for why I use Java and not, say, python. ;-)
Ciao, Imi.
