By the sound of it, the output of the Clipper (specifically the Inside
and Clipped_Inside ports) would already be what you'd want to see.
You may want to put a LineJoiner on your original track first, to reduce
the number of segments (and the number of buffer features being
generated). This may very well speed things up.
Hope this helps.
