Randomized incremental constructions are widely used in computational geometry, but they perform very badly on large data because of their inherently random memory access patterns. We define a biased randomized insertion order which removes enough randomness to significantly improve performance, but leaves enough randomness so that the algorithms remain theoretically optimal.
