No, you're wrong. Potlatch fetches all the points the same as JOSM does.
Potlatch does have a separate mechanism that displays a single trace
rather than all points for the area, and that will only work for a
trace that you have access to.

The server only stores points to 1s resolution I believe, so Potlatch
has no choice in the case where it is displaying all points in the
area. When displaying a single trace it has the original XML file
available so could use greater resolution if it wished.
If you've really got a significant number of points that only differ
at the subsecond level then you're probably logging too frequently
anyway ;-)
