You may want to try OSM3S as a server. I got the 5km x 5km around my home in about 2 seconds from the planet size database. Please have a look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM3S/install Feel free to ask what you don't understand. As the server developer and maintainer I'm happy to use feedback to improve the manual and/or user interface.
