[GRASS-user] Slow import of GHSL

[Nikos Alexandris]

Why does (attempting to) import a 38m pixel resolution GHSL [0] GeoTIFF
layer, ie GHS_BUILT_LDS1990_GLOBE_R2016A_3857_38_v1_0_p1.tif, in GRASS'
db progress slow?

Similar GHSL data sets vary between 300 ~ 500 MB in size.

As well, trying to clip the GeoTIFFs (not the VRT files) with gdal
tools to a custom extent (say Europe), appears to be a heavy process.

Thanks for hints, Nikos
