The problem is scaling: to process a route relation you need to have the ways and you don't have the memory ot store all the ways. The ways are processed before the relations. However, if you run in --slim mode it will store all the ways in the database and then you can handle the route relations. Yesterday I committed some changes which make slim-mode almost as fast as non-slim-mode (well, only 2x as slow in the simple case, I havn't tested the whole world case). I have the code to handle route relations and will be adding it shortly, however, it will only work in slim-mode, because you don't have the memory to do it in non-slim-mode. The downside is you need a lot more diskspace if you want to handle the whole world. I'm estimating 40-60GB but I havn't been able to test it yet. I may be able to get that down some, but it's a work in progress. So in short, there are two places that do it, but only for small parts of the world where the problem is easily managable. There are other approaches, like scanning the file twice, but I'm sort of aiming here to be able to apply the daily diffs which limits certain trade-offs.
