It varies – that's one of the reasons there are different DistanceStyle 
implementations. The cheapest (squared linear distance) is quite cheap; the 
most expensive (arc distance) requires several Math.acos invocations (for a 
path).

I would start simple as mike suggests and not try to make a generic solution: 
maybe just support one of them as a start. Sorting can be a real hotspot: look 
at all the craziness the 2D one does to speed up/avoid haversin computations. 
The best solution is very much tied to both the formula in question and the 
underlying encoding.

> Geo3D has a number of distance measurements and a generic way of computing 
> interior distance.  It would be great to take advantage of that for queries 
> that return results ordered by interior distance.
