[Qgis-developer] Are there any Join tools in Sextante?

[G. Allegri]

I agree that SAGA is a good algorithms box, and it would good for many
users to have it by default, but I wouldn't stop implementing new toolboxes
because SAGA has one strong limitation, IMHO: it needs to read the data
source (as GRASS does) and LOAD it completely in memory. This can be ok in
many cases, but it makes many algorithms unusable if the data are quite
big.
I've tried to run the "clip contest" and I haven't been able to see the
end, because SAGA has reached the maximum RAM the OS could give it, and the
process was taking hours to finish...

In brief, SAGA is nice, but not so robust for many production scenarios.
