Yeah, there must be a way of breaking this up in Postgis or some other
method.  Maybe by county or city region, if that meets your workflow
needs.  I would break it up outside of QGIS, and then import the various
geoj's into QGIS.

I'm thinking these methods don't work on a geoj:

The problematic one in this case is about 30GB, with ~5.9M features, of property parcels in Florida, each with polygons with 5-10 vertices and 57 (!) other columns. Below is the first feature as printed by ogrinfo. It appears to have originated as a Shapefile, which we have also converted to regular GeoJSON (the 30GB one), and linear GeoJSONL/Seq.

The Shapefile version imports with no issues or obvious delays, with features flowing basically immediately, and the overall process taking about 7 minutes.

The regular GeoJSON version spends over 20 minutes in the GDALOpenEx call, and another 10 minutes before features flow (haven't looked yet in what), after which it takes about the same 7 minutes.

The GeoJSONL/Seq version spends about 12 minutes in GDALOpenEx and then the same 10 minutes, and then the same 7 minutes.

Note that ogrinfo has the same initial delays (20 minutes and 12 minutes) before it prints anything.

This is all with GDAL 3.2.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 on a quad i7 4.2 with 32GB and SSD.

The 7 minutes of import is not the issue, and once features are flowing, our code is able to be aborted. The issue is the 20-30 minutes where it can't because it's (seemingly) stuck in GDAL calls.

    I would like to hear more about large GeoJSON files.
    How large are they?

    My GeoJSON files contain linear features only.  My
    largest one is 50.2 MB with 1,230,000 newlines in it.
    Next biggest one is 12 MB with 280,000 newlines.  These
    and about 140 other geojsons are open in the same project
    and I have no problems.  In fact I converted from
    SHP to geojson 2 years ago because I used to have problems
    with SHP linear files.

    I use QGIS 3.16.8 on Linux Mint.
