Could you share your benchmark?

I've just gave it a try with a bench program [1]
with 351750 weighted points and I got:

Building regular triangulation: 2.03785
Build Fixed weighted alpha complex
Fixed 4.41835
Build family weighted alpha complex
Family 13.0819
Build family filtered weighted alpha complex
Family filtered 25.4051
Building exact regular triangulation: 4.34791
Build exact family weighted alpha complex
Family exact 23.192


so ~4s vs 13s.

Sebastien.
