Ended up going the ICE way instead, but I shouldn't have to build an icetree just to find out what's the closest null to another null in an efficient way.
What I was doing was build a linear curve of every position of a set of nulls in the order of said set, and then use the PointLocator API to query the closest position from a particular position in global space. It works really well for finding positions super quick, but I can't seem to directly get a list of the vertices of said positions/locators. The ICE way is to make a cloud of points based off the kine.global.pos of the group, plus storing their name with "Reference to String" to a custom attribute, say self.oName, On Emit. Then do the same with the second set on another cloud. On that one, do a Get Closest Location feeding it a Get Point Position and from the resulting location, grab its "oName" and store it as an attribute on the second cloud like self.neighborName. This all was just to rename the prefix of a set of nulls based on the prefix of their closest null from a different set.
