[Qgis-user] [EXTERNAL] Re: Geopackage slow on NAS if not read-only

[Patrick Dunford]

I access files over a network and haven't really noticed a speed issue, 
but I use NFS, which is not available on Windows (my computers run Linux)

there are other file formats, geopackage is not the only one out there - 
spatialite also uses SQLite.
