That's what I meant by "size'. That's quite a difference! And would
definitely explain the performance improvement.
One other thing I'm curious about. Is the coordinate system is
lat/long? In which case the buffer distance of 0.75 is quite large,
isn't it? Is that going to possibly produce incorrect results?

What do you mean by "size"? If you mean "number of points," the original
geometry (North America continent) had circa 50K points, and the simplified geometry had around
2000, so an order of magnitude difference. I am speaking from memory because I am not in front of
my db server. Will check again tomorrow, and repost if the numbers are drastically different from
above.
