Minefactory reloaded seems laggy

[Zaflis]

I'm not actively following mods own forums and stuff, and i thought some of you here could pass this thing along.

I was debugging my server with Opis and found that roughly all machines from Minefactory reloaded are using more processing time than other mods in general. I get numbers on each device like 9 microseconds per tick, even when the machines themselves are idle with nothing to do. Some are unpowered, some have lava in but ender tank below it is full and so on. They don't seemingly do much, but still many of these machines and other things cause my server and client to lag.

One costly item is Harvester, and from other mod - BC Factory - quarry is too.
I'll show 1 of the worst chunks with its items listed:

(That block placer that got first spot as laggiest of them all, has 1 block placed infront of it just sitting idle. It really should have nothing to process at all.)

Oh, i'm using Direwolf pack for 1.6.4, version 1.0.10, but the issue has been there for many versions.

What exactly are we to do with this information?

All those numbers seem a bit high, I would look into actual server issues. If I saw something even half that I would look into upgrading my server.

Keep in mind you're talking about microseconds. That 9 microseconds is 0.009 milliseconds, and my personal rule has been to remove any block that exceeds 0.1 milliseconds on its own. You're always going to have something near the top of the list, but that doesn't necessarily mean the top of the list is always bad. It's all relative. If your tick rate is under, say, 10 ms total, don't fret.
