about ~28/29 seconds ogr and ~ 31/32 native (on a testing VM with
limited resources).

if I turn off that option then it works, both dissolving by attribute
and a full dissolve.
The speed difference is not much (ogr always a bit faster in my
testing environment).

yes, i realized it later.

both very good news! but don't forget that in the economy of a work
day of a person that do all day this kind of operations, having an
option to fix geometries on the fly while clipping/intersecting/etc is
very important and save a lot of time. Of course having the same
functionality as separate tool is as much as important.

cheers!
