Another aspect worth considering is bandwidth use.  Is there anyone
who is running the client behind a low-bandwidth connection?  

I think before doing something like this to the "official" client the
change should be documented in a posting to this list and maybe a wiki
page.  Then give everyone a week or two to object to your proposal.

Another application could be the rendering of the lowzoom level-12
tiles that were mentioned earlier.  Those could be uploaded to a
different server as well which then could process them.  Or, as an
alternative it could filter the osm data and send the osm file to the
server.
