One on my biggest point against freerouter... the other one is java-2d
blurred graphic (they call it antialiasing, I only see a huge blur). The
funny thing is that 90% of the stuff on boards is at 45 degrees
multiples, so no antialiasing would be in fact necessary!
Did you evaluate some spatial index for the speed issue? AFAIK r-trees
are already available in boost, k-d trees are not *too* much difficult
to implement (did it one time years ago, but for points, not bigger
entities... I don't remember if they can hold bounding boxes, for
example). As usual split and rebalancing are the tricky areas...
