Philippe,
If you are trying to hold the trace impedance constant, curved corners
do better than 45 degree corners only if the inside radius is greater
than 3 * trace_width.  See page 107 of my book, Electronic System
Design: Interference and Noise Control Techniques (Prentice Hall, 1987).

I never felt it was worth the extra trouble on cards I've designed,
which have gone up to 133MHz bus speeds.
