1-st:
The speed should be about 4-5 nodes per second. You might be able to speed 
things up if you are talking with http/1.1 persistent connection to the the 
OSM Server. I personally do it with a squid-proxy inbetween. If you use the 
proxy option for java and josm it can talk persistent. This saves a complete 
tcp handshake per node.
just start josm siomilar to this:
java -Xmx500m -Dhttp.proxyHost=gw-squid -Dhttp.proxyPort=8888 \
	-jar  josm-latest.jar "$@"

Normally (as what i found here, no guarantee) you can stop an already running 
upload in josm. Then save the FIle. Stop josm. Restart josm and then continue 
the upload.


2-nd:
I personally try to reduce the ammount of points in the resulting upload. 
since you normally don't need all points on a streight street. But you 
probably already did that. That's one of the reasons i started to write 
osm-filter.
