2.7s is unacceptable.
Must be profiled to be sure, but a first optimization idea would be to guess the size of the queried shape and tile the query instead of the cells until the query takes more than like 6-10 cells.
Once that happens, it’s better to tiles the individual cells instead of the shape.

Research direction

Start by profiling the search path responsible for the reported timings, especially the 2.7-second Occitanie query. Compare querying the shape with tiling individual cells, using the reported cell-count threshold as the proposed direction; done means a measured improvement over the current search performance.
