Just an thought from reading the thread:
Multiple parsing runs with an bz2 zipped file could do worse to the 
performance. It would mean multiple decompressing of the input files. 
And in my experience decompressing bz2 costs a lot of resources.

(In my case I'm directly using the osm.bz2 files from geofabrik as input.)
