Just wondering if anyone knows about this or has tried it. Being able to pass through walls just because you're going really fast can't really be considered anything other than a bug after all!

My guess would be I doubt it, but it would be easy enough to try. Go to a sim running Havok 4 right now and try it.

Please do not quote me on this, but I vaguely recall hearing at some point that Havok 4 (or Havok > 1) interpolates the agent's position between physics frames and calculates collisions on that basis - if true then yes, it would stop that sort of thing, which I very much support; it is extremely irritating to have to worry about small objects not colliding properly.

I've tested a few flight assists, and they still pass you through walls quite easily in a Havok 4 sim (or did a few weeks ago). "Teleport" type effects are even larger impulses/velocity changes, so they should work fine. That's not to say they might not be a little DIFFERENT; they might well need some tweaking here and there to have the same kind of feel and user friendliness....

Havok 4 as integrated into SL doesn't use interpolation between frames. There was quite a bit of debate on the top speed an avatar is allowed to reach in Havok 4 office hours, most of it around these impulse teleporter type things.
