"Put a HINT brush at the base of a weird shaped object ... it's simple... what a hint brush does is tells BSP how to divide your level so VIS can do a more effecient job. if you put a hint brush around the strange object, it only divides up the space directly around it, and doesn't end up spliting the floor or walls up a lot."
