The news is mixed. The slim mode code does correctly exclude nodes
outside of the bounding box when reading them in from the file.
Unfortunately all the ways and relations still make it to the
intermediate tables. It isn't until the code tries to extract the
geometries from the ways that it can discover if the nodes for the way
are outside the bounding box.
It may be possible to improve this but it would need to make the
assumption that all the nodes are in the file. I don't have time to look
at this right now though.
