I am checking that now, but with today's dump instead of yesterday's. The splitting time is 199s for osm.gz vs 102s for osm.pbf.

The XML path seems to be unaffected by your patch. My filter only passed two errors, which I will soon correct (so that they should not be in tomorrow's finland.osm.pbf). I compared the splitter output from both the XML and PBF with your script. I took one of the missing node messages (node 1217412566 referenced from way 105721933 and compared the XML and PBF splitter outputs. As far as I can tell, the node is not present on the tile 63240006 in either the XML or PBF output. It is present on tile 63240007 though and that matches the areas.list you are using. Is this a case of the PBF parser in mkgmap being more chatty than the XML parser?

I also noticed that the splitter outputs XML at version 0.5. That probably should be fixed. Finally, I don't know if this is an issue, but my PBF patch doesn't output any metadata as I didn't see that in the data structure used in the splitter. Let me know if I am off base, but that's seems to be what I found so far. I won't be able to look at it again until next week now. Francisco
