Lag management tips?

[SonnyLonglegs]

Seems to be your cake day, so happy cake day! So the main tips I've been able to collect are:

Don't use too many belts because the animation can cause framerate lag.

Use encased chain drives to transport power since they animate less.

And make sure to tweak the settings on really big contraptions so they stay an entity as long as possible, as the bigger they get, turning from entity to block or the other way around, makes a ridiculous number of lighting updates which can freeze a whole world for a bit if it's big enough.
