That was your idea (and a good one). But it's probably worth measuring to see what overhead it adds. It did require both passing in the database and making the whole thing `async`. Just timing the queries themselves: 1. [Using `AsGeoJSON(geometry) as geometry`](https://alltheplaces-datasette.fly.dev/alltheplaces?sql=select%0D%0A++id%2C%0D%0A++properties%2C%0D%0A++AsGeoJSON%28geometry%29+as+geometry%2C%0D%0A++spider%0D%0Afrom%0D%0A++places%0D%0Aorder+by%0D%0A++id%0D%0Alimit%0D%0A++1000) takes 10.235 ms 2. [Leaving as binary](https://alltheplaces-datasette.fly.dev/alltheplaces?sql=select%0D%0A++id%2C%0D%0A++properties%2C%0D%0A++geometry%2C%0D%0A++spider%0D%0Afrom%0D%0A++places%0D%0Aorder+by%0D%0A++id%0D%0Alimit%0D%0A++1000) takes 8.63 ms Looking at the network panel: 1. Takes about 200 ms for the `fetch` request 2. Takes about 300 ms I'm not sure how best to time the GeoJSON generation, but it would be interesting to check. Maybe I'll write a plugin to add query times to response headers. The other thing to consider with async streaming is that it might be well-suited for a slower response. When I have to get the whole result and send a response in a fixed amount of time, I need the most efficient query possible. If I can hang onto a connection and get things one chunk at a time, maybe it's ok if there's some overhead.

A `stream` function could get a cursor or iterator of rows, instead of a list, so it could more efficiently handle large queries.
