Please be informed that I said roughly and not exactly. Plus the last time I heard about them (a while ago so correct me if I am wrong) they use E5v2 CPU systems which aren't optimized for single threading applications (Minecraft can be limited by single threading but it can also sometimes use additional threads so mileages may vary). At the end of the day at any rates you usually get what you paid for.

No one likes servers where items are banned.
And I am not quite sure why you are banning items.
It's like you can happily ban rapiers in PvP because they are quite powerful, but you shouldn't ban machines, because they make life easier.
Anything from Buildcraft.
"That's a nice house you've got there..."
You could probably even set it up so that it's all outside the render distance of the, ah, unfortunate victim.
I can do the same thing with less effort using TNT (malicious_bloke would be proud) or by "misplacing" a single machine or wire.
Yeah, but with tnt, you have to set up a bunch and it has to be ON the person's base. With landmarks, it's more around the person's stuff, which is less conspicuous - maybe not by much, but still.

TNT under or above the base and heavily stacked. The blast from the first row will launch the remainder into the base with no problem. Landmarks, on the other hand, always take me a while to actually connect for some reason.
Yeah... Still, though; everything from Buildcraft just seems so much worse than tnt. The devestating exactness of the perfectly square corners of the hole that was your base, the range that is much larger than TNT... Plus you can use it again, and again, and again. Even though tnt is cheap, you still have to craft at least one for every blast.
There are plenty of mods / exploits I can use to bypass all of this.
The point of me mentioning all of this is an attempt to show how futile it is to ban items / blocks. Basically, if I want to level a base, I'll find a way regardless of what has been restricted.

Fair enough. TNT just has that general rage factor to it that a filler won't though.

There are ways. Look for TC4 nodes that are out of place or bunched together, or do an ore scan with a digital miner to find areas with an oddly small amount of ores (that just gave me a horrible idea for how to level a base), a player detector, use WAILA to find a Carpenter's block entrance, etc. Pretty sure XU (or another mod, can't remember) even has a block that let's you look through the world.
No matter how hard someone tries to prevent this stuff, someone else will find a way.
And thus why a lot of folks who say "yeah this sounds great!" will log on, make their super secret base, have someone find it and nuke it, then rage quit and never be seen again.
Hell, I don't know how many SSP worlds I've deleted due to a misplaced wire, or a bad chunk load on a cooling system for a nuke plant.... At least those were my own damned fault, but to have someone else do it? 'eff that right in the "a"
If you want pvp, it has to be balanced. Modded MC =/= balance.. even with major config tweaks, there is always a way to get OP.
Increase the miningMultiplier to get more absurd power requirements. Don't forget the quarries!
Speaking of quarries... they really need to damage players who are stupid enough to stand in front of them :3
