I confirm that I've done a benchmark using several geometry libraries, 
including Boost.Polygon, CGAL and ggl. It is not yet published. But I 
will give some feedback soon, also in the scope of this Formal Review. I 
encountered some counties not being accepted by CGAL, but lateron 
discovered that some (at least one county) was indeed invalid. So I have 
to recheck what is the problem there and in the other cases, the 
shapefile or the library. I will come back to this.
