Duarte,

The SDE driver docs at http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sde.html says:

"If the layer parameter is specified then the SDE driver is able to skip 
reading the summary metadata for each layer; skipping this step can be a 
significant time savings."

So try listing the layer of interest in the connection string.


   SDE:server,instance,database,username,password,layer

Best regards,
