    that sounds about right, for me, with half the cores, I get 24h
importing Europe (~19GiB .pbf), not counting creating indices for
rendering. Then, the more data you import, the more difficult it gets, I
think. What I'm trying to say is that importing might not be linear with
the .pbf size. With osm2pgsql (not sure you're using that) there is only
a part of th importing that works in parallel, so more cpus won't help
much there.

The technology industry sees itself as in rebellion against corporate

can be as corrupt, soulless, and empty as any corporation, but being
unprofessional helps us maintain the belief that we are somehow different
from Wall Street.
