To be honest, I didn't read the whole thread in deep, I just read pieces of every mail to get the points. But: I found the navigation-software "navit" 2 days ago. It's still in early devel-state but does quite well for that. (License is GPLv2). It uses it's own binary-format which might be very interesting for you. There is a very fast converter from OSM to the binary-format and the map-rendering and routing-speed is amazing IMHO. Currently they use some kind of changed A* but they're working on this. Germany.osm from 2007-12-16 is only about 30MB in binary so it might be worth a look. For best results, use the cvs-version with the GTK-gui. To be found at: http://navit.sf.net/wiki/ and http://www.navit-project.org
Have fun ;)
