Developer triangulates 3.7 million map polygons in 489 ms

Original: Faster than earcut: triangulating 3.7M map polygons in 489 ms

Globus Software reports a new polygon triangulation method that processed 3.7 million map polygons in 489 milliseconds, which it says outperforms the widely used earcut library. The post details the technical approach to speeding up geometry handling for map rendering. Developers online are discussing the benchmarks and what the speedup means for graphics and mapping tools.

Why now: A claimed large performance gain over the popular earcut library is notable to graphics and mapping engineers.
