Tested this latest version on my American extract with -Xmx4000m: With 1.2 million nodes the Java VM crashed due to lack of memory. Using 1 million nodes the split succeeded with 367 areas in 3:20 hours. Some swapping was noticed (bad for speed).
Although I'd rather use the 1.2 million setting, as that is a nice balance between the number of failed map builds and map size worldwide, using 1 million now enables me to do all the work myself instead of relying on others. Great, thanks a million! Next up: splitting the whole world on my laptop and process the output with mkgmap. See which areas need fixing manually...
