My inputs and outputs are the same, but the LineOnLineOverlayer is significantly slower than the Intersector. Why does the same process takes longer in one vs. the other? Is the Intersector preferable over the LineOnLineOverlayer?

The LineOnLineOverlayer and Intersector have very similar components under the hood. In certain translations, you might find that the Intersector performs better as it is slightly more efficient than the LineOnLineOverlayer, which has a few more layers sitting on top of the core code. It's hard to say if there is a clear cut winner in all situations, though. We're aware of the mismatch between these two similar transformers, and are currently investigating optimizations.
