Thank you very much! I haven't had time to sit it down yet, but I will look into it during the holidays. (There is one problem, because I longer haven't...

FWIW: https://github.com/r-spatial/sf/issues/2472 ;) BTW: Shouldn't `GeometryOps.jl` be listed on https://juliageo.org/?

Personally, I wanted to focus on comparing the functions available in packages from a user's perspective, rather than writing the most efficient alternatives. I also think we should compare similar...

Thanks for the comment and your results! Generally, I don't expect super performance from Python and R - this is the domain of low-level languages. My idea was a simple...

Here more information about the environment used. Let me know if anything more is needed. ``` > apt list --installed | grep libgeos libgeos-3.8.0/focal,now 3.8.0-1build1 amd64 [installed,automatic] libgeos-c1v5/focal,now 3.8.0-1build1 amd64...

Thanks for the clarification! Honestly, I've never used `{pygeos}`, I've always used `{geopandas}` alone. So it will be added as a default dependency in the near future?

Great, so the best solution is if I install `{pygeos}` now and rerun the benchmark.

@martinfleis, could you check if the results are reproducible for `{sf}` and `{geopandas}` (in particular, I mean with the new version of `{shapely}`)? Do you also recommend removing `{pygeos}` now?...
