Try adding a "maxVelocity" field (set to something not outrageous, 15 for example) to your item datablocks to prevent their impulse velocities from getting out of control. By default there is no limitation on this which results in massive surplus physics/collision calculations taking place at high velocities.

This was already a known issue, THREED-1008. It looks like Sickhead has fixed it, I just need to confirm that fix in the next build that comes in for QA.
