[OSM-talk] Max recommended size for multipolygon relation?

[Mike N.]

I have done a dataset conversion in preparation for a bulk import of an NHD 
coastal sub-basin in the US.   One of the last river stages generated a 
multipolygon relation containing about 3,000 members.

   Is it best to break this into multiple 'bands' before importing it, or is 
there no performance problem with tools working with a relation containing 
that many polygons?

  Thanks,

   Mike
