[gdal-dev] Ogr2ogr and default value of -gt

[Jukka Rahkonen]

Hi,

The default value of -gt parameter of ogr2ogr utility is 200 which is all
too low for databases. Especially bad it seems to be for SQLite/Spatialite
and thus also for GeoPackage.

Are there some drivers which would suffer badly if the default value for -gt
would be increased to something like 2000 or 4000? It is easy to set the
value from the command line but most ogr2ogr usage examples we have in the
documentation are without -gt parameter and I am sure than very many people
just copy-paste the examples and run ogr2ogr unnecessarily slow.
