When I started the installation of a whole planet Nominatim, back in early December the initial planet file was already 3 weeks old.
This was compounded by having an invalid: /Nominatim/settings/configuration.txt left over from a previous import run, which I did not discover until several weeks later. So when I fixed that Nominatim was about 6 weeks behind. It is going to take about 6 weeks to catch up because it seems to take almost an hour to update an hour's changeset, eg these couple of lines of output: 2014-01-26 09:18:42 Completed index step for 2013-12-05T13:29:02Z in 26.8 minutes 2014-01-26 09:18:42 Completed all for 2013-12-05T13:29:02Z in 45.85 minutes The machine is i/o bound. During setup.php I used --threads=2 which made things faster. Can more threads be used during update.php - eg I notice there is this option: --index-instances but would that make a difference?
