Looking at the code, which is publicly available, would quickly have told you that neither a DOM tree nor a SAX approach is used on output. It's plain old DIY XML. The memory requirement stems from the fact (I believe TomH has said it already) that we create one million bloated Rails objects for all the nodes in the query and keep them all in memory while we assemble ways and relations. I know you're just trying to be helpful but you could be even *more* helpful by actually looking at the code before making guesses about what it does and doesn't do, then implement an improvement and report back with results. People will love you ;-) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
