Performance Issues
Hi guys,

Thank you very much for this great mod. I would like to introduce the greatest drawback for me :
performance.

While I test dozen of mods, none of them impacted on the performance as much as Industrial Rollers.

Recently, I made a simple test :

-Long linear convoy that deliver items from different location (farmland, mine, etc.)
-Few puller et pusher to make the automatic kitchen (same as the tutorial)

I recorded how long it took to pass an hour with x2 speed (debug desactivated) :
-7 sec without convoy (destroyed everything)
-8-11 sec with 2-4 items on the convoy (or idle)
-21 sec with big load (more of 30% of the convoy used)

I found few situation when it is even worse :
-when a stockpile is full and the roller (or pusher) try to insert the item inside = HUGE LAG
-when you have several pusher/puller working to sort a stockpile to deliver to the other one (puller are always ON)

The problem is that in one of my game (300 days+), it is unplayable. It take between 30 and 40sec to pass ONE hour with a regular deliver system.

I hope we can do something to make the mod more robust to performances issues.
