terra::extract() is significantly slower than {raster} for web files

[kadyb]

I noticed such issue. When the files are on the disk locally, {terra} is faster.

library("terra")
library("raster")
set.seed(1)

url = "/vsizip/vsicurl/https://naciscdn.org/naturalearth/10m/raster/SR_LR.zip/SR_LR.tif"
pts = cbind(x = runif(44000, -180, 180), y = runif(44000, -90, 90))

# raster -----------------------------------------------------------------------
system.time({
  r1 = raster(url)
  e1 = extract(r1, pts)
})
#> user  system elapsed
#> 3.34    0.85   12.54

# terra ------------------------------------------------------------------------
system.time({
  r2 = rast(url)
  e2 = extract(r2, pts)
})
#>  user  system elapsed
#> 29.75    2.56  200.22
