[QGIS-Developer] Problems with QGIS 3 Hillshade

[C Hamilton]

I was using the Hillshade from the Terrain Analysis plugin. I don't know if
it uses GDAL for the processing or not, but it does not give a GDAL command
line. The Terrain Analysis plugin seems to be dropped for QGIS 3, but if
the GDAL hillshade is going to be as slow as it was, that is going to be a
serious problem for me.

Thanks,

Calvin
