I access files over a network and haven't really noticed a speed issue,
but I use NFS, which is not available on Windows (my computers run Linux)
there are other file formats, geopackage is not the only one out there -
spatialite also uses SQLite.

I do appreciate the good advice to use DBMS, I am doing that too and
understand the advantages. I would never consider using a geopackage
if I thought that multiple people would want to edit them at the same
time. But that is not the case and that is not my problem. Sometimes,
I just want to keep geodata in a file on a network share and run the
risk (in my case insignificant) that the file will be corrupted by
multi user access. This I can do with shapefiles, but unlike the
shapefiles, I have to set the read-only flag on the geopackages stored
on the network to get decent rendering speed, without ever wanting to
edit the files. I think wanting to use file based storage for geodata
in a networked environment is not unreasonable, even if there is some
danger of corruption. All file based formats are probably subject to
that risk, but I repeat, that issue is not what I am talking about,
just the rendering speed of data in a geopackage that is not set to
read-only.
I suspect that there is no solution and that I will just have to live
with this - as I have done for years. It is just a bit annoying. And I
am surprised how little it is discussed.
