+After installing but before creating any users or data, import an extract with [Osmosis](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis) and the [``--write-apidb``](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--write-apidb_.28--wd.29) task.

+Loading an apidb database with Osmosis is about **twenty** times slower than loading the equivalent data with osm2pgsql into a rendering database. [``--log-progress``](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage#--log-progress_.28--lp.29) may be desirable for status updates.

+* It's not recommended to use `rails server` in production. Our recommended approach is to use [Phusion Passenger](https://www.phusionpassenger.com/). Instructions are available for [setting it up with most web servers](https://www.phusionpassenger.com/documentation_and_support#documentation).
 * Passenger will, by design, use the Production environment and therefore the production database - make sure it contains the appropriate data and user accounts.
 * Your production database will also need the extensions and functions installed - see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md)
 * The included version of the map call is quite slow and eats a lot of memory. You should consider using [CGIMap](https://github.com/zerebubuth/openstreetmap-cgimap) instead.
