Interesting. I never compared it. The import program creates two tables:
vertices and ways.
Vertices are actually not needed anymore after the topology has been
calculated. Maybe the indices require more space? They are needed for faster
routing results.

The topology script can maybe do this, because it's an SQL function, but the
import is done by some program named "osm2pgrouting". It first parses the
.osm file and picks the right data and then runs the function. There is no
parameter to specify the bbox in osm2pgrouting.

Can maybe some other tool make me an extract of the already downloaded osm
file? Osmosis maybe? I don't know so well about them.

Yes, the workshop uses some really small area only. I need two SQL dumps for
those, who get lost and need to start over with some working database
eventually. They don't require much space, when they are packed. 2 or 3 MB,
I think.
But this is all included in the workshop package, which is not only made for
the LiveDVD.
