The problem is not speed, it's latency. I'm not sure what your ping time is to the server (I'm guessing near 350ms), but remember that any single update done by JOSM will take at least a whole HTTP request to do which is at least 4*RTT so maybe 1.5 seconds. Multiply by number of objects... The 0.6 API wil have a bulk upload stream which can significantly reduce the overhead. Another possibility is do a Save in JOSM and you bulk_upload from a machine closer to the server.
