I'll look into some ideas along these lines, as I begin to get a better 
understanding of the code.  These types of comparisons may add some 
overhead per edge/face, but if they can reduce the number of faces 
created might pay off in the long run (in more ways than one).

The comparisons like you mention would need to be done based on the edge 
length/face area of the original mesh faces, but at this time I don't 
think that information is easily accessible during the face intersection 
calculations.
