Are nodes in first fileblocks in "planet dumps"? And then fileblocks mostly with ways? With this dump configuration fileblocks are mostly useless.

Blocks are useful, because you can distribute the workload onto several workers. Most encoders nowadays write first blocks with just nodes, then blocks with just ways and then just relations.
