After ALOT of testing, item pipes will be our main transportation method, conveyor belts will stay as they are needed for multiblocks but as of now they won't have any other advantage over pipes.
The pipes are tile entities, but they are lean, even with a very big system the server would be fine TPSwise but maybe your fps won't be. Item rendering inside pipes can be turned off per client, needs testing as to how much it will help as it seems the pipes affect fps when visible even if they don't have pipes.
After disabling item rending it seems the pipes don't lag at all, which means that the lag is mostly independent from items inside the pipe. That's really good for people that need to disable it for performance.
Comparing looking at many pipes and not looking at them, in tests where the render was on it went down to 70

is also a filter, but cannot interact with things above or below (not a huge downgrade. Also, needs upgrades to function fully, cannot be changed in config whcih sucks. Also, very cool.
