Curious about Bullet and OpenCL...
Is OpenCL acceleration being used at all through Bullet in current or recent builds? Is that happening in the Physics Thread? And if so, how? And if not, why not?

Re: Curious about Bullet and OpenCL...
Currently we don't, and I'm reasonably sure we don't use the aspects of bullet that are helped significantly/at all by GPU acceleration. Even if we did, GPUs are asynchronous processors, so even when they can actually do the maths for a task in under a millisecond, that doesn't mean the results will be available to the CPU that quickly.
