No this has to be engine-specific.  Each engine will have its own preferred
internal stepsize.  What Teravus really means is stepsize = 0.004 rather
than 0.01

I am not convinced this will help much, and it could impact performance. 
Maybe worth a try, but the terrain problems go deeper than just smoothing
out the terrain by upsampling.

I think we can fix the bouncing problems by tweaking avatar movement code
and contact parameters.  So far I haven't seen an issue with the avatar not
at the correct height wrt the visual terrain.
