If you're using Geometry.GetClosestLocations(), you should be initializing it with a call to Geometry.SetupPointLocatorQueries() which creates an acceleration cache and allows you to specify how the search should be performed. In your case, you pass siClosestVertexOrKnot as the first argument.
This is one area you'll have more flexibility in the SDK than through ICE.

I already coded it with my original idea, and so far it works fine. Since I guess an ICE alternative would faster for high poly objects, I'll try that later.
