the 16 iterations for the context stipple (converging towards more 
uniform) does a delaunay and voronoi for every step; interesting is that 
the runtime shifts from the former to the later as we iterate (here we 
stay in the 0.020 domain); i could squeeze out some from the voronoi so 
effectively maybe half the runtime but ... is is worth it ... probably 
only Hraban will use that specific one and regular usage often has way 
less points

it is all about finding the balance between c-helpers and lua code, 
using each for what it's best in

but we'll see what demands come up

thanks for testing this,

Hans
