Almost all tileentitiy for Immersive engineering has more tps(tick per second) lag than most other mods, even more than EnderIO machines in idle.
The results comes from the mod laggoggles.
A single connector which connected only lights causes a lag of more than 200 μs/t.

A turned off mixer(using redstone) lags 43 μs/t.

Garden cloches, when output is full:

Metal press, when turned off with redstone:

These are TPS lags, not FPS lags, animation is mostly NOT the reason.
I hope you do more optimization for the lag of the mod.
I don't like to use IE's wires just because they are too laggy.
