Description

OGR data provider is extemely slow on changing attribute values. The reason is simple, the method QgsOgrProvider::changeAttributeValues() doesn't use transactions. The attached sample scripts (qgis.py) shows more than 60sec elapsed time when changing attribute value for 1000 features stored in SQLite database.

Time elapsed: 56.5938699245
