Very unlikely. To make either QGIS or GRASS multi-core ready in a significant way (e.g. with openMP), it is a long way to go. > > How can I import a *.osm file into GRASS? Is GRASS faster than QGIS? By chance this week a new library came out: https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/readosm/home "ReadOSM is an open source library to extract valid data from within an Open Street Map input file." > I thought it'll be as fast as an on-line map. Why is the so big difference? Online map portals never show the true underlying data but some aggregated material. Hence much faster than when working in a GIS with the true data.
