I've implemented a BVH for a terrain rendering system that runs O(log n) for 
isector and frustum culling. It dynamically structures the scene graph between 
the root and drawable leaf nodes by grouping them n-levels deep. The level 
number depends on the maximum children that are selected for each bounding 
volume in the graph. The selection criterion is bsphere volume sorting. This 
reduces O(n) searches for culling and intersection tests to O(log n). 

Would something like this be a useful addition for OSG, possibly as a simple 
plugin?
