Triggered by your request, I've made a deployable version of OSM3S. It needs only modest hardware requirements (1 GB RAM and 40 GB hard disk space for the entire world). See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM3S/install It has a different syntax than XAPI and partly different capabilities, but if you work with map data and don't need metadata about users, you likely can use it.
