GMP and CGAL EPECK

[petrasvestartas]

I was always avoiding to use GMP in cgal because of dependency list.

But does GMP speeds up the CGAL computations when using precise kernel than using just boost and cgal?

It does for some applications. The only way to know is to try your application with and without GMP+MPFR (installing them once to run a benchmark is really not hard). Note that the answer could depend on the dataset, not just the code.

I tested the speed difference in Straight Skeleton 2D for Windows. In most cases, Boost was a few percent faster (In my case).
