[gdal-dev] Performance benefits of using USE_PARQUET_GEO_TYPES=yes

[Michael Smith]

Just a note for others that I've found for querying parquet files with GDAL 3.12.2 and libarrow 23 that USE_PARQUET_GEO_TYPES=yes, and in my case, since geometries are in 4326, using EDGES=spherical, that the performance has doubled. 

Query time with spatial filter:

GDAL Geom as wkb:     time: 0:01:37.471977
GDAL Geom as geo:      time: 0:00:47.025982
DuckDB geom as wkb:  time: 0:00:15.171584
DuckDB geom as geo:   time: 0:00:07.801056
