[ODE] More speed???

But AFAIK using D3DX for this prevents any kind of inlining. If you have to
do a library call for each basic vector operation involved in physics, you
can just forget it.

That is, until D3DX exposes higher-level functions like "SolveLCPProblem()"
or whatever, at which point we don't need ODE anymore :)
