Hi Juan I hope we could help you to manage 7 daily updates for the whole world.
There are several possible bottlenecks: * Updating and maintaining a region needs eventually the API because diffs assume that whole planet data is stored at the mirror (which exactly what we don't want when maintaining a region). And there is no fast API - there it's not even one available. * While initial import disks seem to be bottlenecks * While indexing and updating, it's perhaps CPU or memory. Pls. keep in touch about your experiences with OSM-in-a-box.
