I've noticed this problem aswell. Is this one of the reasons why the 
disable methods are not yet implemented on CVS head?

This would work at least for some cases, the performance hit should be 
quite reasonable, have you used this yourself? Have to check the API and 
see if I can add this to Odejava's autoDisableBodies call.

Anyone with any other idea for avoiding floating & disabled bodies?
