[Qgis-user] Incredibly slow performance using QGIS v2.10

[Ken Walenga]

Looking for help. I have an unsimplified ZIP.shp file and want to create my
own custom boundary files for territories which are a collection of zip
code areas. I bring in the Zip.shp file and  join to a Zip2Terr.csv file on
the Zip field. When I try to dissolve the TERR_NBR field, the dissolve
process can take longer than 2 whole days (!). Any ideas on ways to speed
it up? I have tried using a simplified Zip.shp file, but that results in
way less than satisfactory boundary files with gaps, etc. Might this be a
problem with v2.10? Is it possible that I would see better performance
using an earlier rev?

I am using v2.10 of QGIS, running on a Win7 HP destop machine, quad core, 8
GB RAM.

Thanks.
