If you're not uploading from dev.openstreetmap.org, there's probably a significant speedbump to be gained from doing so. Additionally, once the 0.6 API is up, we can group a lot of changes into changesets: a *huge* chunk of the time spent when uploading remotely is spent on round trip to the server, nothing else. > * The scripts I used to convert the shapefiles to OSM only supported the > features I found in this one basin.

Did i t support splitting of large polygons into smaller ways?
