comment Why is PhaseMargins going nuts?
Use a real number (instead of exact numbers) in your transfer function (e.g., 10-->10.).

comment Sqrt — how to get negative branch?
But Solve[9==x^2,x] returns both solutions, so I don't think there's an inconsistency.

@J.M.: That's certainly faster--more than an order of magnitude in my quick check.

comment Built-in unit strings recognized by Quantity?
Good question! I hope Wolfram notices this question and intends to make the Quantity capability stand alone (I often use compound units and almost always run into this issue).

comment How can I speed up numerical integration of multidimensional integral?
One thing you could try is turning off symbolic preprocessing. I think you do this by including "SymbolicProcessing"->0 in the Method argument. I've found that symbolic preprocessing can be extremely time consuming if the integrand is complicated or algorithmic (rather than a formula).

Try using NIntegrate instead of Nintegrate.

My 3+ year old MacPro desktop with ATI Radeon HD 4870 runs your code in 0.077 sec. My 2012 MacBook Air with Intel HD Graphics 4000 runs it in 0.110 sec. Both are running MMA 9.

Seems like a good idea.
