Comment:

 I'm creating this ticket as documentation of what I consider a failed
 experiment.  I created these routines and while the relative performance
 boost can be high, the absolute time savings is unlikely to matter in any
 realistic scenario.  If you're getting a centroid of 1 million points, you
 don't care if it takes 2 seconds or 1 second, and if you're getting the
 centroid of a billion points, you'll probably run out of memory before
 you're worried about CPU cycles.

 In short, the benefits are few and don't justify the increased code
 volume.
