I changed bbox calculation to use the 2geom path instead of NArtBpath. I'll do some tests whether this is much slower. Right now I am thinking this is very bad news for my project: it might mean that path transformation (operator*) is significantly slower in the 2geom lib than NR lib...
No need to despair - there was simply no motivation so far to speed up 2geom. Now this motivation is aplenty. I also noticed the slowdowns during work; part of them (during transformations) I traced down to path data writing and reported to Jasper who was looking into it, but part is also undoubtedly blameable on 2geom. So let's make this a call to arms for all 2geom devels to make 0.47 not a bit slower - and ideally faster - than 0.46.
