Background

Benchmarks of osm2pgsql are important metrics for users to reference because importing OSM data is highly dependent on machine hardware and software configurations. However, importing a complete planet file should typically take a few hours to less than a day on well configured higher end bare metal desktop or server machines if equipped with proper PCIe based NVMe SSDs. Your mileage may vary with cloud instances depending on configured disk throughput and latency. Importing an extract(subset) of the planet file can take considerably less time to import and should be used if possible for your import instead of the planet file.

This page contains benchmarks for both legacy and modern hardware and software. Carefully review what is an appropriate comparison for your configuration!

The official manual pages for osm2pgsql with many tips and technical details can be found here:

What affects import time?

Partial list of variables that affect the time it takes to import.

  • Hardware
    • Hard disk throughput ( HDD, SSD, PCIe NVMe). The latter makes a huge difference.
    • RAM size
    • CPU
  • Operating system
    • OS used (64 bit version required)
    • linux disk scheduler ( CFG, noop, deadline, ... )
    • linux file system ( ext4/LVM , xfs/raid, ...)
  • Database
    • Version
      • PostgreSQL 17 and PostGIS 3.5
      • ...
    • PostgreSQL config settings ( postgresql.conf )
      • shared_buffers
      • work_mem
      • maintanance_work_mem
      • fsync
      • checkpoint_segments
      • ...
  • Osm2pgsql application
    • osm2pgsql version (v1.2.1 .. v1.8.0 .. v2.0.0 )
    • parameters
      • "Slim Mode" or not
      • Size of the node cache (-C command line argument)
      • Flat node storage
      • hstore / jsonb
      • Style: "flex" or "pgsql" output (flex is new and recommended going into the future)
      • Parallelisation ( --number-processes )
  • Use case
    • size of the import file : Full planet or Extracts
    • input reader and input file format
      • the 'pbf' input reader reads OSM PBF files about twice as fast as the 'libxml2' parser parses an equivalent OSM XML file
    • other customisation ( special index )

Planet (72.2GB PBF, 2023-01-23) on HP Z840 workstation, 256GB DDR4 2133, 2x Xeon E5-2699v4 22C, 5x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe, Ubuntu 22.04 (flex | --slim) ~10.5h

Software

  • osm2pgsql 1.8.0
  • PostgreSQL 15.2
  • PostGIS 3.3.2

This import used the new "flex" output of osm2pgsql, including "stage 2" processing to create de-duplicated line geometries of OpenStreetMap boundary polygons according to a modified variant of this "flex output" variant of the openstreetmap-carto style. The modified variant includes one more table table definition than the original (waterway route table), and uses WGS 1984 output coordinate system rather than Web Mercator.

Import done on a locally running Windows Hyper-V instance of Ubuntu, with Ubuntu 22.04 as guest system, and Windows 10, 22H2 as host system.

All Samsung 2TB NVMe drives attached over PCIe using two "ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen. 4" cards connected on the PCIe3 x16 slots (PCIe 4x4x4x4 bifurcation set in the BIOS).

NOTE: It was discovered after the import, that the Windows Storage Space created through the Windows GUI for the 5x Samsung 970 EVO Plus drives did not put the drives in an actual striped RAID configuration as expected, but only used a single column, which isn't striped RAID 0, but just combines the capacity of the drives. This negatively affects the combined total performance of the drives in the Storage Space. For a new run with properly configured Windows Storage Space, see next benchmark immediately below this one.

Hyperthreading and NUMA were disabled in the BIOS on the HP Z840 workstation to create a single processor group, due to the Windows 10 issue with processor groups on systems with > 64 logical processors (https://bitsum.com/general/the-64-core-threshold-processor-groups-and-windows/).

Planet (74.9GB PBF, 2023-07-03) on HP Z840 workstation, 512GB DDR4 2133, 2x Xeon E5-2699v4 22C, 5x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe RAID 0, 4x Intel OPTANE P1600X 110GB NVMe RAID 0, Ubuntu 22.04 (flex | --slim) ~9h

Software

  • osm2pgsql 1.8.1
  • PostgreSQL 15.3
  • PostGIS 3.3.3

This import used the new "flex" output of osm2pgsql, including "stage 2" processing to create de-duplicated line geometries of OpenStreetMap boundary polygons according to a modified variant of this "flex output" variant of the openstreetmap-carto style. The modified variant includes one more table table definition than the original flex style ('planet_osm_waterway'), and four more tables ('planet_osm_admin','planet_osm_transport_line','planet_osm_transport_polygon','planet_osm_waterway') compared to old style "pgsql output", while dropping the "pgsql output" specific 'planet_osm_roads' table. It also uses WGS 1984 output coordinate system rather than Web Mercator.

NOTE: Due to the different table structure and database schema, for a fairer comparison of the total processing time of this "flex output" style benchmark compared to old style "pgsql output" as is used in most other benchmarks you see on this webpage, you should substract some time of the 9h benchmark value. A reasonable amount for that is probably 0.5 hours, based on adding up the times for "Reading input files" and the postprocessing time of the largest table ('planet_osm_polygon'), which means 8.5h is a fair benchmark value to compare with "pgsql output" benchmarks on this webpage. Note that postprocessing of the different tables happens in parallel, so if enough resources (CPU, io) are available, only the largest table will ultimately determine the total processing time.

Import done on a locally running Windows Hyper-V instance of Ubuntu, with Ubuntu 22.04 as guest system, and Windows 10, 22H2 as host system. 420GB of the 512GB RAM of the workstation assigned to the Ubuntu Hyper-V instance, additionally 100GB swap defined under Ubuntu which uses the virtualized NVMe RAID.

All Samsung 2TB NVMe drives attached over PCIe using two "ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen. 4" cards connected on the PCIe3 x16 slots (PCIe 4x4x4x4 bifurcation set in the BIOS), the Intel OPTANE drives connected over two x8 PCIe Gen.4 cards and inserted in the remaining last two empty PCIe x8 slots of the HP Z840 (PCIe 4x4 bifurcation set in the BIOS).

NOTE: This import session used properly configured Windows Storage Spaces of type "Simple" which is equivalent to RAID 0 if Windows PowerShell is used to define the correct number of "columns" to truly stripe the data across all drives. This cannot be set using the Windows GUI for Storage Spaces, but requires PowerShell.

Hyperthreading and NUMA were disabled in the BIOS on the HP Z840 workstation to create a single processor group, due to the Windows 10 issue with processor groups on systems with > 64 logical processors (https://bitsum.com/general/the-64-core-threshold-processor-groups-and-windows/).

This import, which is 1 1/2 hours faster than the previous one despite slightly larger PBF, differs from the previous one in four aspects:

  • Properly defined Windows Storage Space as software RAID 0
  • Intel OPTANE drives used for PostgreSQL WAL
  • Upgrade to 512GB instead of 256GB RAM
  • osm2pgsql cache set to 0

Of these, the proper definition of the Storage Space, and thus taking full advantage of the RAIDed Samsung and OPTANE drives, is probably the main reason for the faster import of nodes, ways and relations at the start of osm2pgsql processing as seen in the log below. Adding the OPTANE drives was just an experiment, as the specific P1600X ones, aren't the fastest OPTANE options out there. In fact, they are low end, but still have part of the typical low queue depth high throughput of which OPTANE is known. That said, it was only a temporary offer that made this worthwhile, and other more recent PCIe4 and 5 NVMe drives are probably better options (although unsupported in full by the HP Z840 which only features PCIe3). Putting PostgreSQL's WAL on a separate set of drives should theoretically increase performance though, although it is unlikely to play a major role here, as osm2pgsql uses UNLOGGED tabels for at least part of the import steps, minimizing WAL usage. The upgrade in RAM allowed setting bigger work memory settings in PostgreSQL, and is likely the main cause for the speed up of the indexing processing as witnessed by the considerably shorter timings displayed for the "All processing on table <X> done in <Y> seconds" log lines. The biggest win actually appears in the indexing stage, see the timings of both runs. Osm2pgsql cache was experimentally set to 0 based on a remark of one of the osm2pgsql maintainers, so as to free up memory for the osm2pgsql main process, and didn't seem to hurt import in this configuration, although further testing should follow.

Planet (75.0GB PBF, 2023-07-10) on HP Z840 workstation, 512GB DDR4 2133, 2x Xeon E5-2699v4 22C, 5x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe RAID 0, 4x Intel OPTANE P1600X 110GB NVMe RAID 0, Ubuntu 22.04 (flex | non-slim) ~8h

Software

  • osm2pgsql 1.8.1
  • PostgreSQL 15.3
  • PostGIS 3.3.3

This - one hour faster - import session than the previous one listed directly above, was a first attempt to take full advantage of the large available RAM in the upgraded HP Z840 workstation. With 512GB RAM, it proved possible importing the data without --slim, storing all intermediate data for nodes, ways, and relations directly in memory.

In order to make this possible, the PostgreSQL config was changed slightly (all other settings still the same):

  • shared_buffers = 75GB
  • maintenance_work_mem = 32000MB

Actually, the only really relevant change is to shared_buffers. By reducing it from 275GB to 75GB, memory was freeed up for osm2pgsql. The previous very high setting was actually another experiment, where there seems discussion in the PostgreSQL community to giving either a minor, or major amount of RAM to PostgreSQL, to either allow PostgreSQL itself to maximally cache data (very large setting of shared_buffers), or the operating system (small setting of shared_buffers).

No -C/--cache was set on the command line. In non-slim mode, osm2pgsql by default stores all nodes, ways and relations in memory, so caching has no meaning and the cache setting is apparently (and logically) ignored.

Also, based on the previous enlarged setting of maintenance_work_mem, that seemed to enhance the speed of indexing, the maintenance_work_mem was doubled to 32GB from 16GB. However, looking at the benchmark results, there appears to be no benefit on the indexing stages ("All postprocessing on table X done in Y s"), as the timings are virtually the same, so setting the maintenance_work_mem above 16GB or the 10GB recommended in the osm2pgsql manual, doesn't seem to make sense.

The one hour shorter time seems wholly attributable to a much faster relation loading stage, which went down from 2h3m to just 40m. This came at the cost of slightly slower way loading (83k/s down to 70k/s). Why the way stage loading is slightly slower, is unclear to me, I would have expected it to be slightly faster as well with data in RAM.

All in all, it seems that on modern NVMe backed hardware, the benefits of running fully in RAM, although still measurable, are limited, and using --flat_nodes and --slim with a proper NVMe RAID seems enough to get acceptable import times that come close to full in-RAM imports, reducing the need for a very large amount of RAM and risk of out of memory errors.

Top osm2pgsql memory usage witnessed was about 325GB, with all nodes, ways and relations loaded. For storing nodes, ways, and relations in RAM, it therefor seems probable that about 5x times the size of the imported PBF is needed (375GB at current 75GB PBF). To determine the total amount of needed RAM + swap for a non-slim import, you will need to add the expected memory usage of postgresql, the largest chunk of which is likely shared_buffers, but also work_mem settings need to be taken into account.

E.g., with current Planet of 75GB:

  • Allocate 5x "size of PBF" = 5x75GB = 375GB for osm2pgsql alone
  • If shared buffers is 75GB, and expected work_mem and other memory usage is another 75GB, a total of 375+75+75 = 525GB RAM + swap is expected to be needed for a successful non-slim import of Planet.

Software

This is actually an interesting new run done with a custom compiled non-release version of osm2pgsql 1.8.1+. This version features two important changes compared to released osm2pgsql 1.8.1:

- Commit https://github.com/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql/commit/5dba24058233f0aff38eb1d271ffdcc5ca735c33 that made relation loading 25% faster in --slim mode by ensuring proper use of a database ID index. There are no benefits of this commit in non-slim mode, where relation loading is already very fast, and osm2pgsql uses its own memory optimized RAM data structures to store and access nodes, ways and relations of the middle, so follows a different processing path.

- Introduces a new optionally set osm2pgsql 'middle' database structure / schema, with different contents of the nodes/ways/relations slim tables, and introduces a new 'osm2gpsql_properties' table to permanently store last used import command line settings. The new 'middle' structure did not seem to have a significant impact on performance (which also wasn't a goal of that development), even if the new command line option --middle-with-nodes was chosen, which adds a 'planet_osm_nodes' table copy next to 'nodes.bin' flat-nodes file with only the tagged nodes (the flat-nodes file contains all nodes, tagged or untagged ones). Note that in previous versions of osm2pgsql, including the official 1.8.1, and without specifying this new command line option, no 'planet_osm_nodes' table is created if a --flat-nodes file is used, as all nodes are already stored in the flat nodes file. The new option is only of limited use at the current state of development of osm2pgsql (2023-07-27), as the 'planet_osm_nodes' table cannot yet be used in osm2pgsql 'stage2' flex processing from within a LUA flex style file. This awaits further development of osm2pgsql. Nonetheless it was interesting to add this option to the command line to see if it had any impact on loading performance, which it apparently didn't, and is most likely due to the fact that only tagged nodes are loaded, significantly reducing the overall speed of node record insertion compared to storing all nodes in a --slim import without --flat-nodes (where all 8.5B+ nodes need to be loaded in the database), and thus not creating a bottleneck.

What is interesting to observe in comparison to the last non-slim run, is that after the commit that made relation loading faster in --slim mode, and with current Planet's ratio of ways:relations of about 100:1, the total time to load nodes, ways and relations is virtually identical in --slim + --flat-nodes and non-slim modes (+/- 5h). This is a coincidence, but kind of nice to see happening.

The slightly slower speed of nodes loading in --slim mode, and significantly (2.5x) slower relation loading, is compensated by a faster way loading (85k/s in --slim versus 70k/s in non-slim mode). The reason for the initially unexpected faster way loading in --slim mode versus the all-RAM non-slim mode, lies in the abundant RAM of the used hardware, and thus the --flat-nodes file being entirely cached in RAM, and the flat nodes file using a structure and non-compressed data format optimized for speed and not memory conservation like in non-slim mode.

Software

This run and the next run are both based on osm2pgsql "old" 'pgsql' output. 'pgsql' output will eventually be deprecated and removed from osm2pgsql, but since most other benchmarks presented on this page are based on it, it is good to add a true comparison, as all other tests up to now with the HP Z840 used the 'flex' output option, which uses a different processing pipeline in osm2pgsql. The style used is the current official one of openstreetmap-carto.

Note that although it appears that 'pgsql' output is faster than the new 'flex' output, it has to be taken into account that the custom flex style used in the other 'flex' output based runs is considerably more complicated than the style used for these 'pgsql' output results, and produces more tables and a larger database, than the pgsql style. E.g., the creation of the 'planet_osm_transport_line' table, that duplicates all ways tagged with highway or railway tags into a separate large table next to classic 'planet_osm_line', means many ways defined in the PBF have to be written twice to the database. This may well explain all, or at least part, of the reduced performance figures for way processing in 'flex' output. Other more advanced processing, including 'stage 2' flex processing, is implemented as well, requiring additional processing time as well compared to classic pgsql output.

Data is from a non-slim run.

Planet (85.4GB PBF, 2025-02-24) on HP Z840 workstation, 512GB DDR4 2133, 2x Xeon E5-2699v4 22C, 5x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe RAID 0, 2x Intel OPTANE 905P 960GB NVMe RAID 0, Ubuntu 24.04/PG17.4 (flex | --slim) ~10h

Software

  • osm2pgsql 2.0.1+
  • PostgreSQL 17.4
  • PostGIS 3.5.2
  • Ubuntu 24.04

Import based on the official Planet PBF file. This is the first new Planet run after Facebook sunset Daylight, meaning there was a need to revert to using the much smaller official OpenStreetMap Planet file downloads, as there is no longer an easy way to power test osm2pgsql with the massive Daylight set (at least not with current data).

NOTE: This import used a custom build version of osm2pgsql, so is actually osm2pgsql v2.0.1+, based on one of the latest commits (https://github.com/osm2pgsql-dev/osm2pgsql/pull/2308/commits/f80854d75a893f0f0869d540e26d110c303301f0).

Obviously, with the Planet file having considerably grown since the last official Planet file import on the same hardware in July of 2023, more than 1.5 years ago, overall processing time has significantly changed, from approximately 8 to 10 hours. With about 10-15% more nodes (9.7B versus 8.5B) and a similar percentual increase in ways, a timing increase of 2 hours is not unexpected. Still, it appears the node loading me have become slightly slower, although a second run would need to confirm this (+/- 4k/s versus 3.6k/s). Although increasing complexity and advanced processing of ways and relations in the latest versions of osm2pgsql, seem to have hardly affected the processing, so the much simpler node loading stage may have been affected by some other background PostgreSQL process using resources.

Software

  • osm2pgsql 2.1.0
  • PostgreSQL 17.4
  • PostGIS 3.5.2
  • Ubuntu 24.04

Import based on the official Planet PBF file.

This import is nearly identical to the previous one - that used the slightly smaller Planet 2025-02-24 file - at a total processing time of approximately 10 hours, and seems to confirm the slightly slower node/way/relation processing (about 5-10%) of osm2pgsql v2.1.0 compared to v1.8.1, likely caused by the more complex but also more advanced processing done by osm2pgsql in the latest v2.x releases.

Software

NOTE: This import used a custom build version of osm2pgsql, so is actually osm2pgsql v2.1.1+, based on one of the latest commits (https://github.com/osm2pgsql-dev/osm2pgsql/commit/210fde0f3911edfb1f94bcd42960327beefac7c9).

Import based on the official Planet PBF file.

This latest import seems to indicate a minor performance drop in osm2pgsql of about 5-7% of osm2pgsql v2.1.1+ compared to v2.1.0 for the node and way loading stages, see the previous benchmark above for comparison, which may be related to the ongoing development work and code refactoring done for osm2pgsql in the latest commits, although a future import run would need to confirm the figures. The only other thing that changed were the regular (kernel) updates of Ubuntu in between these runs, and of course a slightly larger Planet file. Overall processing time increased by 0.5h, mainly due to the longer "Reading input files" stage.

Software

  • osm2pgsql 2.1.1+
  • PostgreSQL 17.5
  • PostGIS 3.5.2
  • Ubuntu 24.04

NOTE: This import used a custom build version of osm2pgsql, so is actually osm2pgsql v2.1.1+, based on one of the latest commits (https://github.com/osm2pgsql-dev/osm2pgsql/commit/5b408d90845bda24b51215fd8f025b6dedc23eab), including callbacks for delete actions in osm2pgsql.

Import based on the official Planet PBF file.

This latest import seems to confirm the previously observed minor performance drop in osm2pgsql of about 5-7% of osm2pgsql v2.1.1+ compared to v2.1.0 for the node and way loading stages, see the previous two benchmarks above for comparison, which are likely related to the ongoing development work and code refactoring done for osm2pgsql in the latest commits. The addition of the new delete callbacks may also have had a very minor negative effect on performance, as this run appears to show a very slightly slower node and way loading compared to the last Planet run (nodes 3328k/s versus 3389k/s , ways 68k/s versus 70k/s previous run), but the difference is so minimal, that it may be attributable to run-to-run variations as well. PostgreSQL was upgraded from 17.4 to 17.5 as well. Overall processing time, also influenced by the larger Planet PBF file, increased by about 20 minutes, with approximately 11 hours processing time.

Software

  • osm2pgsql 1.10.0
  • PostgreSQL 16.1
  • PostGIS 3.4

Import based on a file containing the Facebook Daylight map distribution Planet PBF file + all the machine learning buildings and administrative boundaries of the v1.38 release, including the new Google Open Buildings integration by Facebook. All combined with osmium. The resulting 'planet_osm_polygon' table has 2.448B records, including approximately 1.8B buildings.

NOTE: This is un updated import that replaces the first Google Open Buildings integration of Facebook Daylight v1.37 benchmark posted recently. That version of Daylight turned out to have a major issue, likely duplicate IDs, that was revealed after further examining the imported data, and that caused the nodes of buildings to be merged with other features, causing malformed geometries and the loss of approximately 900M building records in the main 'planet_osm_polygon' table. A similar issue, but in that case involving country boundary relations, affected Daylight v1.32. The new successfull import of v1.38 therefor now features a much larger Polygon table with over 2.4B records, and consequently longer import time due to the considerably larger output database.

This import used a changed hardware configuration compared to the last v1.32 Facebook Daylight import: it swapped out two of the Intel OPTANE P1600X 110GB drives for larger Intel OPTANE 905P drives, which finally have become affordable (but are nowhere near the performance of the newer PCIe4 P5800X OPTANE drives). Benchmarking using CrystalDiskMark has shown these drives to be only marginally faster on IOPS and QD1T1 over the P1600X (maybe 5%), but they have significantly higher sequential read/write and much higher drive capacity (960GB). Just like the P1600Xs, these 905P drives do show considerably higher random read IOPS and performance compared to the Samsung 970 EVO Plus RAID at low queue depth (about 2.5x higher). The random low queue depth write IOPS aren't much higher though than regular PCIe NVMe drives. As a consequence of all this, the benefits of the OPTANE drives for the specific processing of osm2pgsql seem limited over ordinary NVMe drives, and regular newer PCIe 4 and 5 drives are probably a better choice.

The main reason to try this new setup was also not so much to enhance the speed of the osm2pgsql import, which only marginally seemed to benefit from the new drives if at all, but to allow storing derived data tables and especially database indexes that will be created in subsequent processing on OPTANE. The planned additional processsing after the import does rely on high random read / write IO and heavy indexing of the tables, and could potentially benefit from having all indexes stored on OPTANE, although testing of this is ongoing. This however, was the main drive to try out this new setup with the 905Ps, not so much to enhance the osm2pgsql import speed.

Software

  • osm2pgsql 1.11.0
  • PostgreSQL 16.3
  • PostGIS 3.4

Import based on a file containing the Facebook Daylight map distribution Planet PBF file + all the machine learning buildings and administrative boundaries of the v1.45 release, including the new Google Open Buildings integration by Facebook. All combined with osmium. The resulting 'planet_osm_polygon' table has 2.460B records, including approximately 1.8B buildings.

NOTE: This import used a custom build version of osm2pgsql, so is actually osm2pgsql v1.11.0+, based on one of the latest commits (https://github.com/osm2pgsql-dev/osm2pgsql/commit/1c4ce753b68f40c372fc886293df4829d2937edb). This import also used a changed flex style, switching from the now deprecated osm2pgsql 'add_row' function to 'insert'. However, considering the slightly higher performance compared to the last run (about 3-5%), despite a 2.5GB larger PBF, is seen overall and not just during the data loading stage, but also the indexing stages, it is likely the slight increase in performance is either due to run-to-run variations, or small performance enhancements in the latest Windows (host), Ubuntu (guest) or PostgreSQL versions that are now being run, although there have also been a couple of commits for osm2pgsql related to specific aspects of osm2pgsql's performance during some stages of processing.

This run is essentially similar in configuration to the previous v1.45 run. Nothing obvious changed in the real setup or configuration of PostgreSQL, as e.g. the Ubuntu guest OS in the Windows Hyper-V virtual machine was not yet upgraded to 24.04 LTS, nor PostgreSQL 17 beta run. However, considering the unexpected more than one hour shorter import time, it is again likely incremental changes and minor improvements in the used software and OSs involved (latest version of Windows 10, osm2pgsql, latest Ubuntu 22.04 kernel) resulted in the higher performance compared to the last run (about 5%), despite a 1.6GB larger PBF. The two obvious stages showing faster performance were the actual import of nodes and ways, which was about 28 minutes shorter, and the postprocessing / indexing stage of the 'planet_osm_polygon' table, that was about 45 minutes shorter. The latter result though, was not observed on any of the other tables, and thus remains somewhat inexplicable.

Facebook Daylight v1.55 (237.7GB PBF, 2024-09-23) on HP Z840 workstation, 512GB DDR4 2133, 2x Xeon E5-2699v4 22C, 5x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe RAID 0, 2x Intel OPTANE 905P 960GB NVMe RAID 0, Ubuntu 22.04/PG16.4 (flex | --slim) ~22h

Software

  • osm2pgsql 2.0.0
  • PostgreSQL 16.4
  • PostGIS 3.4.3
  • Ubuntu 22.04

Import based on a file containing the Facebook Daylight map distribution Planet PBF file + all the machine learning buildings and administrative boundaries of the v1.55 release, including the new Google Open Buildings integration by Facebook. All combined with osmium. The resulting 'planet_osm_polygon' table has 2.473B records, including approximately 1.8B buildings.

This import should be compared to the next one that also uses Daylight v1.55, but upgrades Ubuntu from Jammy 22.04 to Noble 24.04, and PostgreSQL from 16.4 to 17.0.

As to comparison with the previous Daylight v1.49 import, both new runs appear to show a slightly lower performance during especially the node loading stage (from +/- 6800k/s to +/-5800k/s). Whether this is a consequence of some changes in the latest osm2pgsql v2.0.0 compared to the previously used osm2pgsql v1.11.0, or caused by updates to Windows 10 or Ubuntu, remains the question. The slight slow down seems consistent though considering both v1.55 runs showing it. Taking into account that the node loading stage is still lightning fast and only amounts to about 50 minutes total for >17B nodes, the actual increase in timing of this stage is negligible though, at just 7-8 minutes extra. The way loading appears slightly slower as well. Although the percentage difference for the way loading stage appears smaller, it has slightly more impact due to the much longer loading stage for ways compared to nodes, causing about 30-60 minutes extra loading time.

Overall, both runs appear to be about 1 hour longer than the previous v1.49. Interestingly, even though the final Polygon table grew from 2.465B to 2.473B records, the actual Daylight v1.55 combined PBF file is 0.2GB smaller (237.7GB compared to 237.9GB previously). This mainly seems caused by a slightly smaller ml-buildings file for Daylight v1.55 (139.0GB compared to 139.4GB previously), which might reflect some weeding out on Facebook's or Microsoft's side of incorrectly detected ML buildings, but this is just speculation.

All combined with osmium. The resulting 'planet_osm_polygon' table has 2.473B records, including approximately 1.8B buildings.

NOTE: This import used a custom build version of osm2pgsql, so is actually osm2pgsql v2.0.0+, based on one of the latest commits (https://github.com/osm2pgsql-dev/osm2pgsql/commit/7d7a97086b6f1e427641c8a9bd6e5b5fb0bafb3c).

For this run, Ubuntu was upgraded from Jammy 22.04 to Noble 24.04, and PostgreSQL from 16.4 to 17.0. Despite both Ubuntu and PostgreSQL receiving updates that should include performance enhancements, this fact did not show itself in the result of the latest osmp2gsql import. The latest run, ignoring an insignificant 14 minutes difference to the previous one, essentially resulted in a similar 22 hours total timing for the same Daylight v1.55 release. Apparently, the specific processing of osm2pgsql, isn't touching upon any of the areas that have seen improvements in Ubuntu or PostgreSQL, which isn't that surprising, as changes may simply be out of scope of what osm2pgsql is doing or how it is using the systems.

Software

  • osm2pgsql 2.0.1+
  • PostgreSQL 17.2
  • PostGIS 3.5.1
  • Ubuntu 24.04

Import based on a file containing the Facebook Daylight map distribution Planet PBF file + all the machine learning buildings and administrative boundaries of the v1.58 release, including the new Google Open Buildings integration by Facebook. All combined with osmium. The resulting 'planet_osm_polygon' table has 2.476B records, including approximately 1.8B buildings.

NOTE1: Facebook Daylight v1.58 is the final release of OpenStreetMap Daylight Map Distribution that Meta will release according to their documentation, as they have sunset Daylight in favor of Overture Maps. This will therefor also be the final benchmark using the massive combined dataset including Google Open Buildings integration, and any subsequent benchmarks of software on the same hardware will revert to using the much smaller official OpenStreetMap Planet file downloads.

NOTE2: This import used a custom build version of osm2pgsql, so is actually osm2pgsql v2.0.1+, based on one of the latest commits (https://github.com/osm2pgsql-dev/osm2pgsql/commit/f900e2c3a1309e357377bd0ce97ad10ee8ef61df).

No really significant changes in timings compared to the previous v1.55 based run are visible, with an only 0.1GB larger PBF. The 30 minutes longer total processing time seems within run-to-run variation, as a previous undocumented run with v1.58 and PG17.2 and osm2pgsql official release 2.0.1 instead of custom build 2.0.1+ came out at just below 22h, and such run-to-run variations in the range of 5% difference using the same dataset have been observed before.

Planet (119GB BZIP2, 2021-09-02) on Ubuntu Linux 128 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16C/32T CPU, 2 TB NVMe SSD, PG15 ~13.5h

System:

Hardware assembled at Crunchy Data Benchmark Lab by Greg Smith. Presentation of results 2021-11-18 at Virtual PostGIS Day 2021

Command:

Planet data as of 2021-09-02, 119G .bzip2 download. osm2pgsql and PostgreSQL 15 database run on the same server. Final size 989 GB, build disk usage peak ~1.4TB. 

osm2pgsql -d gis -v --create --slim
--cache 40000 --number-processes 4
--flat-nodes /inland/15/nodes.db
--hstore --hstore-add-index
/var/lib/postgresql/osm/planet-latest.osm.bz2

PostgreSQL Tuning:

At current Planet size improvements from OSM cache increase peaked around 40GB of RAM, with only marginal benefit going to 50GB. With 128GB that leaves enough memory for aggressive database memory tuning as well. 

shared_buffers = 32GB
maintenance_work_mem = 4GB
work_mem = 4GB
max_wal_size = 16GB
min_wal_size = 4GB
effective_cache_size = 80GB

# Below here are loading tweaks not recommended for production

checkpoint_timeout = 60min
synchronous_commit = off
fsync = off
autovacuum = off
wal_level = minimal
max_wal_senders = 0

Background writer tuning:

An aggressive background writer tuning moved a lot of the index building load from the CREATE INDEX to the BGW process, often over 150MB/s: 

bgwriter_delay = 10ms
bgwriter_lru_maxpages = 500
bgwriter_lru_multiplier = 4.0

Note that alternately the background writer can be turned off altogether, as there is no foreground latency for it to optimize anyway, and on some systems the CPU time it uses isn't worth spending on its job: 

bgwriter_lru_maxpages = 0
bgwriter_flush_after = 0

Unsuccessful improvement attempts:

Alternate system using newest Ryzen 9 7700X/64GB was much faster at some operations. But for the full Planet, 128GB of RAM is the only way I've found to make the Way times in particular competitive now.

There are so few disk bottlenecks left at PCIe 4.0, the 5GB/s read rated drive used is more than enough to keep up. A 4 disk RAID0 or SSDs on the newer P18 chipsets were only trivially faster.

Some runs set shared_buffers as high as 48GB with clear benefits. This 32GB value is a compromise to cut down on Out of Memory Killer action ruining the load. The two work_mem settings can be dropped to 2GB as a way to fit more buffer cache, but that change is barely above the run to run noise.

Database Update :

It took approx 2 hour to cover a day update gap You can directly use osm2pgsql replication command instead of this , I have added this in order to update couple of extra attributes ! (https://github.com/hotosm/raw-data-api/blob/develop/backend/replication)

Run with same parameters as above, but in slim mode (--slim -C 0 --flat-nodes), because I need regular updates. it took 6 hours longer, 17 hours this time!

it seems that this parameters do not take advantage of huge RAM size. Processing relations (Processed 11800687 relations ) is 4 (!) times slower. Post-processing is also slower.
