Greg,
Can you elaborate on your statement "2530 in a sinlge polygon"? Do you
mean holes or subPolygons in a MultiPolygon?
Either way, currently JTS is not optimized for working with very large
numbers of holes and sub-polygons. As Paul says, we are currently
working on improving this. Hopefully we can at least match the
performance of the Other DMBS(es) for this situation!
Would it be possible for me to obtain this geometry for testing?
