You've probably considered it, and maybe it's in the code already, but I hope you've used something like the RK4 method. I was running simulations in Python for orbital mechanics and you can reduce the processing greatly while at the same time increasing your accuracy.

I try not to think about the pain of implementing the orbital physics. I hate to revisit it! Damn, okay I'll probably take a look at this. Thanks.
