Hi all.

I have found a significant performance drop when using OGR SQL with VRT as a 
source. Test results with sample data ( link , 6,8 MB).
VRT as a source:
 
$ time ogr2ogr -dialect sqlite -sql "SELECT geometry, CAST(ABS(MAX) AS INT) AS 
depth FROM merged ORDER BY MAX DESC" sample_vrt-sqlite.geojsons sample.vrt
real    0m3,960s
user    0m0,037s
sys     0m0,022s
$ time ogr2ogr -sql "SELECT CAST(MAX * -1 AS INTEGER) AS depth FROM merged 
ORDER BY MAX DESC" sample_vrt-ogr.geojsons sample.vrt
real    3m4,108s
user    0m0,057s
sys     0m0,016s
  Shapefile as a source:
$ time ogr2ogr -dialect sqlite -sql "SELECT geometry, CAST(ABS(MAX) AS INT) AS 
depth FROM sample ORDER BY MAX DESC" sample_shp-sqlite.geojsons sample.shp
real    0m3,627s
user    0m0,036s
sys     0m0,025s
$ time ogr2ogr -sql "SELECT CAST(MAX * -1 AS INTEGER) AS depth FROM sample 
ORDER BY MAX DESC" sample_shp-ogr.geojsons sample.shp
real    0m3,731s
user    0m0,052s
sys     0m0,025s
 
Since my VRTs consist of tens and hundreds of Shapefiles, OGR SQL becomes 
unusable for the specific task given as an example above.
So I wonder what could be the reason for such a significant drop in performance 
in this particular case? Or maybe I’m doing something wrong?
