A REASON to have Roads

Either you misunderstood CPW or he is kinda wrong.

Yeah I'm curious too. He specifically said that resizing permgen is bad.

"Also: pro tip: SET permgen size, don't just allow a bigger max. Every time it needs to resize is a big GC cycle==Epic game pause."

Well thats nice. The ability to enchant IC2 tools via exploit is gone in 1.5.1. Thats why I use Tinkers Construct now instead.

Meh Oh well I'll have to find a new best friend. On the topic of the exploits of adding enchantments to IC2 things I personally do not consider them exploits, they are tools and armor and enchantments were added for tools and armor the simple fact that they can be recharged is balanced by the cost of the mats like the gravchest plate for example.
It really doesn't matter what we think but personally I think its a mistake calling them bugs/exploits simply because they are in fact tools and armor.

That makes sense only if you know what your minimum permgen size should be. For a minecraft client its probably more trouble than just enduring a pause during startup to settle at a good number.
