Currently, the ponder text for encased fan processing time (I'm specifically thinking about blasting, but I assume this is universal) mentions that speed depends on distance from the fan, but it also depends on another factor: stack size. It would be nice if the ponder text mentioned that somewhere.

This is important because (I assume) a lot of fan processing setups consist of a number of fans pointed at a fixed-length conveyor belt, with the length/speed of the belt set so that items finish processing right around the end of the belt. Putting larger stacks on such a setup than they were designed for (and tested with) is likely to break them, as stacks will go off the end of the belt before they're fully processed; it'd be nice if players knew that was an issue, so they'd test with full stacks or at least be aware full stacks would break their system.

(Source: I just replaced andesite funnels with brass funnels on my smelting setup and got confused as to why items were going through unsmelted.)
