[Qgis-developer] split features takes a LONG time over network

[William Kyngesburye]

I'm trying to split a selected line feature in a postgis database on the network (not local machine).  The database layer is almost 4GiB (10M records) and is spatially indexed.

The feature is selected, it's not very large and I am zoomed to see about half of it.  It took about a half hour to split, and during that time was downloading a constant stream from the postgis server.  I'm guessing it looked at every feature in the database.

bug? (didn't see anything in the tracker)  lack of optimization?  maybe it was fixed in trunk?  Continuing to edit this database will be impractical as it is in 1.8.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
