[Qgis-developer] delete selected features slow (because of featurecount/events)??

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Richard,

What the trash button does is

vl.beginEditCommand( "Delete Selected Features" )
vl.deleteSelectedFeatures()
vl.endEditCommand()

This makes me think, that the "with edit" construct could actually wrap
things into a single edit command as well.
