I encountered a link to your blog post with some performance comparisons between file formats. Because the performance differences there were not quite what I expected I got curious and had a look at the code.
This PR should give a boost to the performance of .fgb, .gpkg and .shp. I disabled creation of the spatial index on .gpkg because all other formats also don't have a spatial index and creating the spatial index takes quite some time. If you want to do serious spatial analyses using sql on the .gpkg file the spatial index can obviously be a huge advantage, but I don't think this is the case.
