Ok, first of all I'm fried, sorry. My timings were distorder
by the profiler. W/out specific profiling calls comparison
is:

With LineSegment::reverse calls
        real    0m35.149s
        user    0m30.244s
        sys     0m1.231s

Without LineSegment::reverse calls
        real    0m29.858s
        user    0m29.043s
        sys     0m0.121s

About porting to JTS, I'm not sure it will influence things
as JTS is probably NOT making copies of Coordinate.
Am I wrong ?
