That was an interesting read! :) If I remember correctly the PAL
algorithm splits concave polygons into multiple convex polygons and
then tries to place as many labels inside these convex polygons. Does
your dataset consist of a lot of concave polygons? Centroid placement
should not take a lot of time with convex polygons...

Looking forward to seeing how this develops... Perhaps a more improved
algorithm for concave polygon splitting needs to be found?
