Research direction

Start by tracing the point-lookup iterations and identifying where sorting could occur initially or between iterations. Compare the proposed binning and KD-tree approaches, using cache pressure and lookup behavior as evaluation criteria; done means a selected approach with evidence that it improves the lookup path.
