How is a Mesh Collider "performance expensive"?
A moving body near a meshcollider needs to check for collisions against potentially every triangular face of the mesh. So for a detailed or non-convex mesh, or lots of bodies, this can get expensive. ...

Solving obtuse interior corner collisions
There is an alternate way to think about solving this. You can do a transform by offseting the lines by radius of your circle then the solution is same as intersection of 2 lines.

Solving obtuse interior corner collisions
I assume that you want a solution for collisions in general, which also works well for interior corners.
When resolving a collision against one plane, do not move the circle perpendicular to the plane....

How is a Mesh Collider "performance expensive"?
