### Notes on full planet imports
in terms of RAM usage. osm2pgsql and PostgreSQL are running in parallel at
this point. PostgreSQL blocks at least the part of RAM that has been configured
with the `shared_buffers` parameter during

and needs some memory on top of that. osm2pgsql needs at least 2GB of RAM for
its internal data structures, potentially more when it has to process very large
relations. In addition it needs to maintain a cache for node locations. The size
