Thanks, that did the trick. Now I'm just wondering why you don't use 9.8 for the gravity. Does it have something to do with stability? I now use 9.8 gravity, and I also don't set the softERP and softCFM flags in nearcallback (I set bounce though). I think it's more realistic.. I don't like seeing the objects almost "floating" like a feather (0.5 gravity), and I also prefer hard contacts for the objects (so they don't seem to penetrate through walls).
