QGIS Server 2.18 much slower than 2.14 (at least for WFS getfeature requests)

Description

After an update from QGIS server 2.14 to QGIS Server 2.18 (LTR) I note that WFS requests using a layer with ~ 25'000 record are very slow!

I try to remove some field from WFS output but the time response is always very high!

This is for example a query to a spatialite layer.

https://www.gishosting.gter.it/lizmap-web-client/lizmap/www/index.php/lizmap/service/?repository=dorota&project=test&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=particelle_legnago&OUTPUTFORMAT=GeoJSON&GEOMETRYNAME=extent&PROPERTYNAME=geometry%2CNUMERO

If I use a postGIS layer normally apache crash

I tried myself and I confirm the fact that QGIS 2.18 is much slower than 2.14. I can't confirm the crash using PostGIS layers.

My testing scenario: 2 servers (ubuntu server) with the same hardware (on the same network) one with QGIS Sercver 2.14, the other with 2.18. On both I uploaded a QGIS Desktop project created with the equivalent QGIS Desktop version, both projects loading a MultiPolygon PostGIS layer with ~28000 features coming from the same server (a third server on the same network of the ones publishing the WFS service).

I have done repeatedly

time wget "url_of_getfeatures_wfs_request_outputting_to_geojson"

and on average the 2.18 server is 30 second slower than the 2.14 one. Moreover the size of the resulting geojson is also larger (6mb larger in this case) than the one created by QGIS Server 2.14.

It's simply due to the transformation of the geometry from the layer CRS to standard GeoJSON CRS EPSG/4326.

this is about the difference is size, correct?

the size difference is strange because lat/lon normally use less digit than projected CRS

concerning time it is better to reproject the layer in EPSG/4326?

I try using a layer in WGS 84 but the time is similar (or higher) ~ 5'20'' and the size is higher.. I really do not understand the problem..

The postGIS layer has ~25'000 polygon

I have found why QGIS Server 2.18 is slower in generating GeoJSON. I'll fix it!

Fix done for 2.18 e53f4a83a9cadcd1f941a224eecf492dc1da7df7

The cherry-pick to 3.0 and master has to be test.

I will test as soon as possible on my server with ltr version

Now it works fine! Confgratulation to René-Luc ReLuc! In my opinion we can close this ticket.
I do not know how qgis-server 3.0 works, because normally I works with LTR

I am under the impression (hopefully wrong because I only tested QGIS Server on Windows at the moment) that QGIS Server 3 is much slower. But I guess we have to wait for more people to test and leave feedback.
