Subject: [boost] [GGL] performance

Hi list,
As there were doubts expressed on this list regarding performance in
more challenging environments, an additional test is provided. The
resulting figures of GGL are still good, sometimes the best, sometimes
the second best.
For example, for a union on polygons with many diagonals, holes, and
many points on both inputs:
ggl 3.6 seconds
b.p. 7.8 seconds
terralib 8.2 seconds
geos 35.9 seconds
cgal 77.8 seconds (a cgal-intersection (instead of union) is the
fastest in these tests)
Polygons have large diagonals, holes are tested, and the number of
vertices of both input polygons can be varied in the tests.
More information: http://trac.osgeo.org/ggl/wiki/IntersectionStarComb,
including references to sources for reproducing the figures, everyone is
invited to do that.
Regards, Barend
