Your profiling results indicate that a lot of time is spent calculating distances. Perhaps, you can work with much faster square-distances (they can be signed or signs stored separately) and apply square root as a final processing step. Or, would signed square-distance field work as well (SSDF so to speak)? Please spend some time thinking about optimizations and bottlenecks. Alexei
