We have a client who is also benchmarking sql server and finding even with
WKB things aren't ideal for them. Basically from what we can tell even
though the driver now uses wkb that still involves an expensive conversion
on the server that uses up resources. What we would like to do is add an
option for using "native" mode, that is parse the sql server geometries in
there native serialization format.

This is the default option for ogr.
