Hi all. Loading a raster is in certain conditions unacceptably slow, and as we have seen this is largely due to stats collections. At least for GRASS rasters, gdal knows he cannot compute stats; e.g. in R:
Geospatial Data Abstraction Library extensions to R successfully loaded Loaded GDAL runtime: GDAL 1.8.1, released 2011/07/09 Path to GDAL shared files: /usr/share/gdal/1.8 Loaded PROJ.4 runtime: Rel. 4.7.1, 23 September 2009, [PJ_VERSION: 470] Path to PROJ.4 shared files: (autodetected) Warning message: statistics not supported by this driver Is it possible that QGIS is trying to calculate stats, and this is a reason for the slowdown? All the best. -- Paolo Cavallini - Faunalia www.faunalia.eu Full contact details at www.faunalia.eu/pc _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
