The timestep value is how much time ODE thinks passes for each timestep.
In your case, since you defined gravity as m/s/s, the timestep is in
seconds. The boxstack test (and the other tests) use no "real" timing if
I remember correctly, so that things in those examples will fall much
faster on a fast computer (which produces higher FPS). However, ODE
can't see this difference. Did that make any sense? :)
