[ODE] Performance comparisons between different physics engines..

[Mike Wuetherick]

aside from the fact that havok is a quarter million dollars per title? 
no thanx. i don't care how good it is, it isn't THAT good.

there's also tokamak as well
http://www.tokamakphysics.com/

it's freely licensable, but without the source code, i wouldn't 
recommend using any of these 'other' engines.

ODE was developed by one of the guys that created mathengine, it's 
freely licensable, open-source, etc...what more could you possibly want?

cheers
