In order of collision detection efficiency, the various colliders are Spheres, Capsules, Boxes, Convex Mesh Colliders, and Concave Mesh Colliders, the last being far and away the most expensive. Collisions always involve pairs of objects, and the amount of work (math) needed to resolve the collision will depend on the complexity of both objects. Detecting collisions between two primitive objects can be reduced down to a relatively simple set of mathematical equations that are highly optimized. Performing comparisons against a pair of Convex Mesh Colliders is a much more complex equation, making them an order of magnitude more expensive than collisions between two primitives. Then, there are collisions between ...
