This higher-order continuity is desirable in CAD

QUESTION:

This higher-order continuity is desirable in CAD applications such as automotive body design, since the curves and surfaces appear much smoother. However, B-splines require three times the computation of Bézier curves, for curves of comparable length. For surfaces, B-splines require nine times the computation of Bézier surfaces. Programmers often choose Bézier surfaces for applications (such as an airplane cockpit simulator) that require real-time rendering.
