You're right in general, but there are a lot of applications (e.g. interference 
detection) that don't need all the details like intersection depth etc., so the 
library that Gabriel announced has special cases to only detect one collision 
and stop processing to speed up the process. Once you do that, it is very close 
to what you need. Admitted, knowing that one of your objects is just a frustum 
could allow you to optimize some things, but that would be quite a bit of 
coding 
effort.

I would give it a try. Gabe has been working on collision detection for many 
years, and his code is pretty optimized. Collision checks between fairl 
sizeable 
objects only take a few milliseconds.

Yours

        Dirk
