IC2 energy network

[meuqsaco]

Is it still necessary to use transformers in my cable forks? I heard this was an issue before that could cause a lot of CPU stress. Is this resolved?

Also, anyone knows why the energy transfer is calculated in ticks? It looks pretty bad in terms of performance when you have very small EU packets with very large packet numbers.

Also, anyone knows any tricks to improve performance when dealing with EUs in general? I feel like I'm doing good with my cabling, but maybe someone has new tricks.

If IC2 cabling is hurting your performance, then you must have underpowered hardware, if its not hurting performance, then don't worry, it shouldn't.

Best cable trick is not really tricky. Every cable except glass fibre is quite lossy. Tin cabling is the exception, it acts like glass fibre, but only accepts packets of 8eu/t or lower I think.

Do you know about the trick with repeating transformers leading to lossless cabling?

Yes, I use this one, even though it was no my initial intention.
