Your right about "useing a transposer and filter would be a waste"but i want something fast and efficent, I dont really care about the space i need, I just have a crap ton of ore's collected that need to be processed
Auto ore processing useing RedPower, IndustrialCraft, and BuildCraft

A. That really isn't a crap ton.
B. How much do you really need this system to be able to handle?
If you need it to handle REALLY high throughput, I recommend using the sorting machine. Set up all your major processors, preferably advanced machines, with filters running into the tops. Put diamond chests on top of those. Then put filters pulling items out the sides. None of these filters need items in them, they are only to ensure largest stack sizes for lag. Put all these filters on a 2-10 second timer. Use the sorting machine put put items into the right feeder chests up top. Use filters to then bring the dust outputs from the rotary macerator back into the induction furnace feeder chest by using the color output of the filter. This is a completely hands free auto-processing system that has worked for me many times.
I now use AE for auto processing, as it is far simpler and handles much more complex systems.

I am not exactly sure what all of you are smoking when the OP is clearly looking for this.
Left is input, right is output. Left-most gate is set to Inventory empty -> energy pulsar. All other gates are set to Redstone off -> energy pulsar.

I am a fuckking idiot,I am makeing alot of people make something easy but clearly you made something alot easy, BTW what kind of gate is that?
I AM
If you're interested in how to do this in 1.5.1 or without redpower, make a new thread and we can talk about it there. It gets fun. 
For example, that setup you have dramatically shrinks in size and cost. And more complex setups can vary from simple to fiendishly humorous in complexity.

What do you mean?
So you see that wooden pipe into hopper setup? We can do that in one go with 5 iron and a chest in 1.5.1 with the new Vanilla hoppers (no pipes needed)! The footprint is still vertical, but it's even smaller. We even achieve 0 overflow and optimal flow through the system. Watch the video linked in my sig and I do it with Metallurgy 3 ore doublers to furnaces. The exact same principle would apply.
The non-video version is that vanilla hoppers can suck things out of the output of blocks above them unless inhibited by a redstone signal. They can then eject into the side of a block they are attached to that is not above them. So hoppers in a vertical line would continuously suck down the outputs of the previous machines. They also output variable redstone signals so you could monitor the degree to which your system is backed up!
As for doing more complex setups, you'll have to make a new thread and wait for me to post or wait for my next solo epsiode of resonant rise. I'm going to use hopper carts

Okay ill make a new thread but what should i name it and what should i put in the thread post?
If you feel the need for more discussion, just ask "Ore processing with new content in 1.5.1" and ask about early ore processing and how the new stuff we're seeing will change it. Watch my video before you do, tho.
Hey, sorry I STILL didn't get back to you when I said I would. I'm a graduate student giving my oral defense soon, so Minecraft sort of needs to take a back seat... (blasphemy
).But if you ARE alright with using Buildcraft after all, Abdiel's setup is definitely the way to go.
Here's a hybrid of his version and martyyp's just for fun. But I think keeping each line separate and just using Abdiel's design in a modular fashion is probably a more elegant solution.
EDIT: The redstone energy cell is just one simple way to help you pump out a huge amount of items at a time. You really won't want it outputing more than a few MJ if you actually go that route for any part of your build. The loop of gold piping on the left is just overflow protection.

haha, Thanks i know have many awsome ways to auto product.
