R/S and E/Z are somewhat antiquated from a cheminformatics point of view.
While chemists find them intuitive enough, computing R/S and E/Z can
actually take an unexpectely large amount of CPU time.  OpenBabel instead
uses local connectivity around a single atom or bond.

Does your application require these older designations?  Or could you
instead use the atom- and bond-centric definitions that are built in to
OpenBabel?
