Most of the OSM data is available (planet.osm), as is all of the  
source. Many OSM developers are busy with other parts of the project  
at the moment, so if you can provide some benchmarks to show that OSM  
really does run faster on a PostGIS setup, and show what changes you  
made to achieve this, we'd be all ears.
