Rendering Shootout - Manifold / PostgreSQL / Q

This video follows up the Rendering Shootout video comparing Manifold, ArcGIS Pro and QGIS, using the native desktop storage technology for each package: .map files for Manifold, ESRI geodatabase for ArcGIS Pro, and GPKG for QGIS. Manifold was dramatically faster than Arc or Q, both of which were unusably slow with 22 to 44 million features.

This shootout compares Manifold running both standalone and as a PostgreSQL client to Q running as a PostgreSQL client. The PostgreSQL server is on the same machine, so there are no network delays.
