Hi all,

My name is Markus and I am doing my bachelor thesis on an OpenStreetMap Routing 
topic.
Therefore I use a postGIS db to store the osm data. Actually I have a dump of 
the data of Germany.

For my routing I cache areas. These areas I access like this:

SELECT id, version, tags, nodes FROM ways WHERE linestring && 
ST_SetSRID('BOX3D(9.00000000 50.0000000, 9.005000 50.0050000)'::box3d,4326)  
AND(  
                                                'highway=>motorway'::hstore <@ 
tags
                                                OR 
'highway=>motorway_link'::hstore <@ tags
                                                OR 'highway=>trunk'::hstore <@ 
tags
                                                OR 
'highway=>trunk_link'::hstore <@ tags
                                                OR 'highway=>primary'::hstore 
<@ tags
                                                OR 
'highway=>primary_link'::hstore <@ tags
                                                OR 'highway=>secondary'::hstore 
<@ tags
                                                OR 
'highway=>secondary_link'::hstore <@ tags
                                                OR 'highway=>tertiary'::hstore 
<@ tags
                                                OR 
'highway=>unclassified'::hstore <@ tags
                                                OR 
'highway=>residential'::hstore <@ tags
                                                OR 
'highway=>living_street'::hstore <@ tags
                                        );

The x and y of the box3d variate but every time have the same range of 0.005. 
Linestring is  the gist index. I did a Vacuum. 
Table (ways) has 9040062 rows. 

In my oppinion, the query is still slow. So my question to you is: Is this the 
best way to cache such an area of ways or is there an faster alternative?


Best regards, 

Markus Hens
