No. I said the XML parsing part is below one second ;-)

I converted planet.osm to an planet.csv and loaded it with
String.split and it still used all my memory, blowed my
swap partition to pieces and laughed about java's silly
little garbage collector.

So I decided XML is not the problem. ;-)

JOSM is just not made for bigger datasets. As example the
undo feature usually copies all data objects changed,
sometimes even several times...

Uhm.. did I said I choose Java because of speed? I thought
I said I choose it not because of speed, but because of
other reasons (as example: "I want to improve my Java
skills" or "I like eclipse")


Ciao, Imi.
