[mkgmap-dev] Performance with large files

From Gerd Petermann GPetermann_muenchen at hotmail.com on Wed Mar 22 20:30:42 GMT 2017

Hi Bernhard,

thanks for the feedback. I found a reason for the long run time, please  check my posts reg. r3861 and also this
one:

Hi Gerd,

it was one single tile which took more than 2 hours:
43100003.osm.pbf took ~7242 sec

It covers a large area, but not as big as the tile mentioned previously:
43100003: 1765376,741376 to 2203648,1310720
#       : 37.880859,15.908203 to 47.285156,28.125000

The input file "43100003.osm.pbf" measures 12.5 MB - quite a normal
size; the resulting img file is 4.2 MB, that's below average. Strange
that that takes such long.

The --polygon-file option (with a polygon from 2-19°E, 45-55°N) reduced
the time spent by mkgmap to just below 1 hour, no tile took more than
100s. Thanks for that trick.

I am still curious why the creation of a tile covering a large area, but
hardly containing nodes requires so much time. Also with the polygon
mentioned above, a large almost empty tile exists (South of Belgium,
because I did not include France) which took longest (97s).
