[gdal-dev] Writing to SQLite is very slow

[Even Rouault]

Roald,

You should try using transactions as suggested on IRC. This does make a lot of 
difference for SQLite.

if 'lyr' is the Python object for your SQLite layer :

lyr.StartTransaction()

... insert features ....

lyr.CommitTransaction()

Best regards,

Even
