Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load a large PostGIS table (containing millions of points)
2. Select a single feature
3. Right click layer, choose "Save Selection As"
4. Choose filename and options

QGIS takes a very long time to export this single point. It seems to take even longer than it does to load the entire PostGIS table into QGIS.

Expected result:
Since only a single point feature is selected, the selection would be saved almost instantaneously.

Use a FilterFids request for vector file writer rather than fetching
all features and then testing the feature id when saving selected
features

For providers such as Postgres this is orders of magnitude faster.
Eg, saving 6 selected features from a 800k PostGIS table now
takes < 1 second as opposed to ~33 seconds
