No doubt it is helpful. It only affects us plebes on crappy hardware. An option to turn it off, perhaps?

Note that Poor/WhoGo/Pure maps cache the search results and will not bug the server if the string is the same as before. So, to search again, you would have to close/open the map client.
Yes, I figured out the caching. Sorry, I did not mention it to but I did close and open between searches.

Time difference between request and parsed query is induced by libpostal. So, in your case, that's a performance limitation (RAM/CPU/all together). Not much can be done by me here, unfortunately.
Well, what can you do. Thanks for your effort, much appreciated.

Actually, there is one thing that I meant to ask/suggest. Something tells me I may even have mentioned it somewhere. All commercial satnav I have ever used required me to enter the address in separate fields: country, town, street, house number. In that order. There was no way to for example enter the street without selecting the town first. It seems logical, I do not often want to go to Oxford Street in "any town".

Would that kind of hierarchical address entry help?

that's a bug then on Valhalla's side, I think.
A funny one. Oh well, I can live with it. Now that I know how it works, I can figure out that "bee-three-three" probably means B303, since B33 would be "bee-thirty-three". Easy.

Bäd news. I hoped it was solved by Osmo in one of his commits. Will open an issue, its a nasty bug. Have you tried killing Pure Maps, as was suggested in that thread?
Sorry, I forgot. I even had a script and still forgot. I will try that next time.
