[OSM-talk] API a lot slower?

Hi Maarten,

By the way: Please consider to use "Download data > from Overpass"
with the query

( rel(1360154); >>; );
out meta;

The runtime is expected to be 3 to 10 seconds, data is usually less than two minutes off. As a side effect, this takes load off the Main API.
