Infinite Durability! Two of the words that initially attracted me to RoC. Followed swiftly by "5x-13x ore multiplication". Then I actually saw some of the stuff people did with your mod and your "turn it up to 11" philosophy. You're dedicated to FUN. With a certain natural cost and engineer's mindset, but fun first and foremost.

Oh really? For me it actually was the engineering aspect and the stories of people who can't comprehend it.
Any mod that makes me consistently use Wolfram Alpha is a good mod.
I said "initially". As in the thing that made me do more than go "Rotarycraft? Whassat do? Spin you around" (like a record)... damnit... song stuck in my head now.
The reasons I kept looking into it are the engineering bent, the focus on enjoyable endgame, the lack of hangup on "balance" when you GET there, and the desire to be able to do everything in a self-contained mod. I got really tired of all the mods that say "You need TE to use" or don't and are basically useless without this other mod's power/item/liquid transport solution. Basically Reika's core aesthetic and mechanical design. Exponents are fun, especially when applied to power curves!

Here's a VisualVM snapshot while running a heat ray. I haven't used VisualVM before so if this isn't what you wanted, let me know and I'll try again.
It contains absolutely no mention of my code anywhere. Oddly, your server thread profile just lists wait(), a thread suspension.
It looks like it's all client side. The heat ray causes a lot of block updates, which may be the source of the lag. Not sure if the client is writing to disk, but disabling my antivirus (which increases disk access times) appears to fix most of the FPS drop. I have PCIe flash, so if it does write to disk, this problem would likely be worse on a spinning disk.
Well, my results could also be totally unrelated. I don't have a spinning disk handy to test with.
Could this be related to the client side FPS drop with neutrons even when they aren't visible (ie: invisible entities)?
It would be great if boring machines could have the option to emit a Redstone signal when jammed. Also turbines to emit when they stop.
In the meantime I suppose I can set up each of my boring machines with its own Tesseract that has its own output chest that gets drained into the ME system. Put a comparator on that chest and a wireless Redstone signal, and we have a sort of solution.
This could greatly reduce the power needs of each boring machine, though my plans to have them all synchronized go out the window. That would require all of them to run at a torque level where they never can be stopped.
I have at times run them on a red some clock. half of the time high-speed halftime high torque, but this should be much better. Only slow when it needs to be.

Reactorcraft has a turbine dynamometer block for the second thing.
Another amazing thing I've built with Reika's mods, a power gauge for my base power from my reactor.

Also an oddity with the column decrementer when you use a Project Red Alloy Wire instead of redstone to send the signal to the column: http://imgur.com/DHFJ7LD

Redalloy doesn't translate anologue redstone at all well
It was the alternating pattern that caught my eye.
