Hi,

Spatialite does not have a real spatial index that generally just works
transparently. GDAL is clever enough for utilizing spatial index in trivial
cases like when ogr2ogr is used with the -spat option. However, I am pretty
sure that you must enhance your query with a hand written subquery that
select rowids from the virtual SpatialIndex. I guess it can be a bit tricky
and require some thinking and testing. I would follow the example from
https://www.gaia-gis.it/fossil/libspatialite/wiki?name=SpatialIndex and test
it with a simplified version of your query first.
