  the short answer is change settings on the phong tag and/or possibly the sample radius/bias of the soft shadows

  The long answer depends on what you want to see, if you want the bend to be totally smooth you don’t need all those points in the curve, with a bezier spline it could be done with two points (in the curve part) – and even with that the short answer might apply.
