If i wanted to make a high speed water skier racing around being pulled by a boat, would Obirope be a good fit?
I'd want to rope to sag when the boat slowed and then exert a jerking and pulling force on the skier when the boat accelerated.

It seems like it would be, I just don't know if it will perform well with constant changes of force being exerted as the boat's speed changes, pskier direction changes and both go up and down on waves.

ObiRope would simulate this just fine. The changes in force/direction have no impact whatsoever on the cost of the simulation. The amount of particles in the rope does (more finely subdivided ropes are costlier), but for a single rope it's highly unlikely you'll hit any performance issues.

kind regards,
