Well, you /could/ achieve that better understanding by experimenting
with it ;)

In general, you want as few hole objects in any given other object.
For instance, for your hangars you're most likely better off to just use
one large box for the hole, and then add walls to partition that hole
into multiple hangars - even if that means adding many more objects.

I have no idea. You will indeed need to experiment with this one.

My personal expectation would be that the many boxes render faster
(provided that there are no intersections or differences involved) as
you need up to 12 triangles to replace one box, and the render engine
could no longer exploit the fact that the opposite sides of the shape
are parallel. On the other hand the mesh-specific bounding mechanism
might be powerful enough to compensate for this.
