Well, I just ran splitter on the .osm.pbf file for Asia and austria. True the split is a bit faster to o5m - but the difference is not so big. Compiling from osm.pbf or o5m however - was more or less the same speed... on the other hand the o5m splitted files use much more space than osm.pbf (for Austria 293MB vs 450MB - that's about 50% more). I will do some further test with input o5m and output osm.pbf vs output o5m. However if there is also no significant time difference (right now it's like maybe 10% faster output to o5m instead of osm.pbf) - then I think I'm gonna stay splitter output at osm.pbf - simply because on my server I'm a bit harddisk bound (got a large network drive for saving stuff, but with about 20MB/s vs 150MB/s for the local drive, it's really only useful to save stuff there - not for working with anything on the network drive). Splitter input according to the above time measures however - really seems to profit from o5m... On 07.05.2014 12:56, Felix Hartmann wrote:
okay, well the numbers are convincing. I will change to o5m and osmupdate too - as soon as I find the time (I do think I need 5-10 hours changing my scripts and making sure everything is neatly cut, but right now I'm too timelimited to do so).. On 07.05.2014 12:15, Bernd Weigelt wrote:

Well I still use pbf and not o5m. First pbf is smaller.. Second - Geofabrik only offers pbf - that's why I stayed with it.
I don't think I can cut a lot of time by first converting to 05m, then hand it over to splitter... Actually I also let splitter output pbf... Maybe I could change that in future to 05m.. I download a planet.pbf, convert it to o5m, time ~50 mins,and cut the needed polies from that planet.o5m. an update of my germany.o5m, 3,2 GB. takes now 3 minutes. I update the planet once a month, my extracts everytime i need them.
thats much faster then download a new pbf everyday or update this pbf. and with the local planet it is easier to create special maps for friends like bonn+100 or dach+
