[fdo-internals] SHP performance problem may be due to .idx

[Greg Boone]

Taking a quick look at the code, what could be happening is that the index file header is updated with the current bounding box extent of the data file at the time the connection is made. 

This update may be replacing the existing extent with the exact same extent.

Hello. Trevor suggested that the FDO Internals may be a better list for the following bug report that I originally posted in the MapGuide Internals list.

Best regards.
