We pick the bounding volume that is most suitable to the use case. The cost of non-spherical bounding volumes is often not that severe when compared to purely spherical ones.

Edit: I just noticed the doc references this issue:

https://github.com/bepu/bepuphysics2/issues/63

Seems related to the article.

Yeah triangle-triangle is really dependent on number of triangles.

I noticed that issue is 6 years old, what’s the current state?
