I just noticed that I miss in some tiles up to 25% of all relations (I 
display them all as extended types).
I will play around a bit with this tomorrow - as the value seems to be 
still way too high.

Also some other extended non relation lines (created by using "continue" 
patch) are dropped. I will have to try whether the problem is related to 
something breaking the "continue" patch partly, or whether the tiles are 
too big. For tonight my PC is blocked with rendering updates, so will 
try out tomorrow! The POI patches are however NOT the reason - also with 
the mdr branch I have this problem (where the last 3 commits do not 
apply to) - though less often.

It happens very very often in combinations with POIs linked to ways and 
using the reduction in road-class/road-speed.
