Perhaps not desirable in terms of accuracy, but is there a method that's
faster?  Or significantly more accurate without significantly more time to
compute solutions?

It would be pretty cool if we had NURBS-surface primitives (and collision
tests for box-NURB, sphere-NURB, etc, etc), but I dunno about the frame
rate that would entail.
