Use .pbf files instead of .osm files
Protocol buffer files are much smaller than the .osm (XML) files. Also, pbf files can be parsed much faster then the XML files. There's open source project called libosmium which can be used for pbf parsing.
Indeed, this is something we have been planning for a while. We will give an update here as soon as we have implemented it :)
