Feature that will be implemented as part of the IO refactoring. To make things ergonomic, we should before/at the same time, use GeoDataFrame for points https://github.com/scverse/spatialdata/issues/233 and thus unify points and circles (https://github.com/scverse/spatialdata/issues/46, to be reopened if needed).

This issue should be tackled after https://github.com/scverse/spatialdata/issues/233. Here I would check the following:

how is performance when using dask-geopandas vs geopandas
additionally, how does performance improve when using a spatial partitioning method https://github.com/scverse/spatialdata/issues/739
