    Thanks Stefan<br>

    It seems first of all v.out.ascii is slow. Following your proposaI,
    the tmp-file has only 5300 observations after 9min15s. As I have
    650.000 points this export will need approx. 18h! Can I speed this
    up somehow? (Database-driver is dbf) <br>

            I tested the approach you proposed, but seems to be very
            slow for large datasets: I am processing ~1000.000 points of
            observation on a 25m-Grid across Switzerland, where only few
            cells have multiple points inside. While
            <i>v.to.rast</i> takes a few minutes for conversion, the
            combination "<i>v.out.ascii input=pt output=- column=VAL |
              r.in.xyz input=- z=4 output=pt method=sum</i>" has been
            running for multiple hours and is still in progress.
            <br>
            <br>
            Is there any alternative to run this conversion? I need it
            to run neighborhood analyses as kernel density with
            population field, i.e.
            <i>r.neighbors in=pt out=pt_dens -c size=300 meth=sum</i>.
            Maybe there is an approach to directly use the vector data
            and avoid conversion- something as
            <i>v.neighbors meth=sum</i>? <br>
            <br>
            Thanks for you help,<br>
