<p>I've just made a test using another areal shape file (similar) composed by many poligons but without holes.<br />
I works fine.<br />
Should be the holes causing problems?<br />

<p>Dear users,<br />
this is my problem: i have a shape file with 166K points and a shape file with 1 area (with some holes).<br />
I want to delete the points liyng into the area. The two file have the same CRS.<br />
Vector->Spatial Query->Select source feature from ..points...where the feature intersects reference feature of ....area<br />
No results QGis not responding, no way to give up...just stop QGis (2.6.0 on W7-64bit)<br />
The same operation in Geomedia takes no more than 5 seconds and the results is more or less 32k points.<br />
Any suggestion?<br />
Thanks</p>
