Issue Description: I have a large server and I'm experiencing a large 15-16% impact from EnderIO conduits. Spark: http://prntscr.com/k9990g

• EnderIO: EnderIO-1.12.2-5.0.29
• EnderCore: EnderCore-1.12.2-0.5.35
• Minecraft: 1.12.2
• Forge: 2705

I can provide more details/logs/profiles and even snapshots if needed. Adding a configurable tick rate to conduits would be ideal in my case while I am able to increase the output per tick lowering the tick rate and increasing the output should reduce performance impact.

Possibly there is a optimization problem and something can be improved.

Thanks.

Is there any type of optimization that can be done? I've reduced conduits down from 5000 to 3000 on the server but ticking harder now at 33% avg on tick loop time.

I can provide profiles, snapshots anything to help if possible.

At the moment it only runs every 20 ticks, I doubt having it run less often would change anything but produce stuttering...

I recommend you tell your players to not build so many automations that hammer needlessly against machines that won't ever accept the input.

Yeah, if it's already limited to running once every 20 ticks this will not help.

EnderIO performs the best that I've seen when it comes to conduits. This maybe just a limitation to what Minecraft can handle.

Thanks.

sure, if you want to run a test with the current dev build ( http://ci.tterrag.com/job/EnderIO-Modules/job/EnderIO-Hourly/595/ ) that would be nice. Just don't throw it onto your real server; switching back to the release version isn't something that necessarily works.

In your screenshot, a good half of the tick time was spent inside the code for that one generator. I'd recommend to have a look if it's just that one generator or if there are others eating up time, too. If it's just that generator, then it's most likely a single setup using all that cpu. If it's multiple machines, I'd recommend to ask their authors in a friendly(!!) way if they see any chance of optimizations.

Also, I put something into our conduits (next release...) that may help in this specific setup, making them sleep for a longer (and configurable) time if they fail to transfer any item.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for looking into the issue and making an attempt to improve my situation. If you need testing done on a map with 3000+ conduits, I'm able to help.
