Faster than earcut: triangulating 3.7M map polygons in 489 ms

Researchers have introduced a new triangulation technique that outperforms the widely used earcut algorithm. The method processes 3.7 million map polygons in just 489 milliseconds, significantly reducing computation time for large‑scale geographic data. Benchmarks show it achieves higher speed while maintaining accuracy, offering potential benefits for mapping applications and real‑time rendering tasks. The code, released publicly, supports integration into GIS pipelines.
