It depends on what you mean by "computation". I assume here you mean that your solution is O(n3) and n ≤ 103 hence the number 109,  but for each triplet of points you process here, you are making many more auxiliary "computations", each of which take different amounts of time. If I understand you correctly, generally brute forcing 109 cases will not pass in 2 seconds, but I think your continue; and return; statements in your function pruned the search considerably (it can be shown that, by at latest the 12th iteration, there will be an acute angle).
