It requires a significant amount of parse time ... basically you use
trace to place your first object, then bombard it with a lot of traces
in a loop to find the lowest point (with some probability), place the
second object and so on. Gets a lot worse if your objects have
irregular shape and you want them to touch but not intersect.
