It is surely much much faster with these brushes.
Some additional tips:I note that staticmeshes collision is slow even when you split the mesh in smaller parts ,because practically
on each piece might be a pawn walking on ,or standing so all terrain pieces test collision.
Unless you plan to restrict pawns to certain terrain pieces only,static mesh collision does nt get optimized by using more mesh pieces.
The bsp brush for collision is reliable,almost always flag the brushes as clip otherwise if you flag the collision as transparent textured, the staticmesh cant render correctly.
I personally prefer to make triangle meshes,or four sided extruded splines,vertex edit them and import as .map and flag them as clip.
Where ever i want the view to be blocked,like corners and obstacles i carefully first vertex edit the brushes to be smaller than the staticmesh )no intersection) and completely concealed by the bigger staticmesh,and when i import these brushes i set them to be transparent.
This way the enemy pawns cant see you when you are behind these brushes.
Whatever collision brushes are much bigger than the actuall terrain and you dont want them to receive stencil shadows,turn them to a world model.
