Invasive Optimizations

Invasive optimizations for other mods, aiming to reduce server-side (tick) lag.
The invasive nature of these changes makes them more likely to crash or otherwise break.
Please report such issues to the issue tracker and I will try to respond to them in a timely manner.
Each change can also be individually toggled through the config and should solve any issues temporarily while you wait for a fix.

Most of the optimizations implemented are Merge/Pull Requests that I opened but have yet to be merged.

Current optimizations:

• Botany Pots
  • botanypots.hopper_insertions: Hopper Botany Pot exponential insertion backoff and emptiness tracking (PR)
• Pipez (Also see Pipez Lag Fix by AlmanaX21 for exponential backoff)
  • pipez.constant_fullness_checks: Turns connection/inventory fullness into O(1) operations
  • pipez.early_exits: Reduces unnecessary work done by exiting targeted functions early if the right conditions are met
  • pipez.extract_looped_work: Move some work out of loops to avoid duplicated work
  • pipez.nbt_comparisons: Drastically improves performance of NBT comparisons by minimizing serialization/deserialization operations
  • pipez.stream_abuse: Reduces abuse of Streams in hot paths to reduce allocation rate (PR)
