optimized collision detection

[iostream71]

anybody have tips on getting the best performance for collision detection on irregular shapes? I was playing around with the idea of using nodes to detect hits, but wanted to know if there was a better way. this is for a 'game'

is there a big difference on performance with using hittest(x,y,true) versus hittest(object)?

i dont know

why not run a test and see


my money is on object
