slow selection of features

Description

Any selection of features in QGIS calls to 'QgsVectorLayer::setSelectedFeatures' and from this commit (#39fab67e602aaa8be7e561a50b40ab7c38914258) it loads all featureIds even when none features were selected.

When the layer has many features, it is a big bottleneck!

I think that this verification is unneccesary in most of situations because of selections become from a 'QgsFeatureIterator fit = getFeatures(...)' calls.

I will propose that this verification be optional (disabled by default) and also it will ignore the unnecesary 'allFeatureIds()' call when none feature was selected.

I agree the check is not needed. We have the ids and if they are not in the layer then they just don't get selected no need to check before hand.

Remove it.

Hi Alvaro, thanks for looking into this long standing and painful issue.

Does this

Be careful because this problem is not solved. Selection remains slow as before in the latest NB. Even with the modifications suggested by Alvaro from here "https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/1116/files", the problem remains the same with huge databases.

These videos show the problem

I'll wait for the next few days NB's to make further comments on developments.
I hope this gets fixed.

Cheers

But this issue is about other use case.
I have not closed the issue #9348

the patch proposed has been merged and anyway it seems duplicate of #9348, or not? closing?
