I think I posted it to the mailing list before, but I don't know when.

Well, just give it a try. I am using a testbed with a car and 4 spheres as 
wheels and a square trimesh that's 6 times the length of the car made up of 
136x136 vertices. Both with and without the patch the car will bounce a 
little bit, but with the patch the bounciness is reduced by 30%.
