Hi Bernd,

> I need to apologize for the bad documentation, but the Polytope_distance package requires exact computations to work properly.

thanks for your reply! Once I inserted the exact kernels as you suggested the problem disappeared. But yah, it'd be *great* if you could update the documentation. May I suggest you to add a couple of lines about running times?

For example. it turns out that this is *way* too slow for me. I would have stopped looking into this right away if only I knew. For example, in this code: http://pastebin.com/tuKsNkbY I computed the distance from a convex polytope of size "1000" too "100" random points: 

> Total init time: 0.000785
> Total query time: 1.51667

Feel free to use my example above.
