I was thinking about this to. I'm rendering a planet with LOD techniques, so 
there are a lot of triangles generated and destroyed per gameloop. I'm 
wondering how efficient OPCODE is under these conditions.
My own solution (I haven't tried the trimesh, yet) is to create a custom geom 
class. That way I can optimise the collision detection by using the internal 
data structures of the planet object.
