History

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback

confirmed. How was speed in 1.8?

#2 Updated by Maxim Dubinin over 11 years ago

it is equally slow in 1.8

#3 Updated by Larry Shaffer over 11 years ago

Confirmed here on Mac with latest master. I thought the app had crashed. It was not a large layer that was being saved: ~100 features.

#4 Updated by Daniel Vaz over 11 years ago

I read the OGR documentation and I suppose that it problem would be related with transaction system which isn't being used.

I create the patches for qgsvectorfilewriter class (see files attached). The patches were created from qgis-1.8.0.tar.bz2 downloaded from project site.

I ran QGis with Testdata and QGis takes minus than ten seconds to execute (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz - 8GB RAM)

The issue #3002 reports the same problem described here.

Hi!
would you mind make a pull request on github with your patch? otherwise the devs are likely not to see this patch, review it and eventually commit it. Thanks!

The bug resurfaced and export in the latest nighly build is very slow. Reported both on Windows 7 and Ubuntu.

Works like a charm in latest master (021441b361). Export of the attached file took about several seconds. Tested under Linux and Windows. I also tested larger file (~30 Mb point shapefile) and it also exported very fast.

#12 Updated by Alexander Bruy almost 11 years ago

Still cannot confirm. Export takes several seconds.

Hi Alex,

I can confirm the issue at some extent, the cause seems the same (already fixed by you) that slowed down a lot the process of placing off-line a postgis table with the off-line editing plugin. I tested on both Linux and Windows with qgis master.

It takes many minutes to export as SL the provided (~40000) point layer. The curios thing is that now it takes that long also from the CLI with ogr2ogr, so may be the issue is not QGIS after all. Maybe it is now necessary to use different parameters in og2ogr when converting?

  • Status changed from Open to Closed
  • Resolution set to fixed/implemented

Please reopen if I'm wrong:

right now (on Ubuntu, GDAL/OGR 1.10.0) the operation is slow also from the command line.

For what I can see here

#8340

and here

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5270

it seems that the upstream fix is available in gdal/ogr 1.10.2
