It should be possible to improve this substantially. When I wrote the patch I was being very conservative with the existing poppler data structures, so essentially that method is traversing an unordered list. If the block list was in isBeforeByRule1 order most of those comparisons would go away. I can't remember if this would break clients wanting access to the text in physical order-it's been a while since I looked at the code and I'm reading this on a phone. Can take a deeper look tomorrow.
