<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear QGIS Developers,<br>
<br>
I'm writing on behalf of my employer, a company that has mixed,<br>
proprietary and open source (especially QGIS of course) gis<br>
infrastructure, with qgis being adopted each day a little more.<br>
Actually in our migration path we have found a road blocker: the very<br>
bad performances (and sometimes results) of most of geoprocessing<br>
tools in the vector menu. Yes I know that there are alternatives in<br>
the Processing toolbox, but that is not an option for most of our very<br>
basic users: they need to do simple operations (clips, unions,<br>
intersections, etc.) with usually very large/detailed vectors (usually<br>
shapefiles). In this scenario QGIS usually chokes or is at best very<br>
slow (compared to other gis packages, the ones we are trying to get<br>
rid of).<br>
<br>
What can be done to improve this tools? Rewriting the tools to improve<br>
efficiency and accuracy?<br>
<br>
We available some funds: this is the first time I convince people<br>
above me to put some money in QGIS development, and a decision would<br>
need to me made until the end of November tops, otherwise money will<br>
be used otherwise.<br>
<br>
Please leave advice and feedback.<br><br><br></div>Regards<br></div>João Gaspar<br></div>
