Ran the following Osmosis command on Mint 17.2, dual quad core, 16gb ram to cut planet.osm into continents.
osmosis -v \ --read-pbf-fast .../{var}D.osm.pbf workers=7 \ --tee 6 \ --buffer bufferCapacity=12000 \ --bounding-box left=-27 right=52 top=38 bottom=-37 \ --buffer bufferCapacity=12000 \ --write-pbf .../${var}D.osm.pbf omitmetadata=true granularity=10000 ... "run time" 3 hours. removing the --buffer(s) "run time" 3 hours 40 minutes a 22% penalty! Your mileage will differ. Interestingly, if I increase --tee then I get an Osmosis severe error. pitney _______________________________________________ osmosis-dev mailing list osmosis-dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmosis-dev
