You need to change your mindset somewhat. Instead of thinking about how to "push" materials around, think about how to "pull" them to the right place. If you, say, need to build one thing with 8 iron, and then one thing with 2 iron, you have Retriever at each table pull the exact right items. Or if you want to avoid blutricity, just trigger 5 transposers, and have 4 of them go to one place and 1 to the other. The main thing is, redpower functions very much off of redpower signals (no big surprise). You can control the rate at which different parts of your factory run very easily simply by changing the speed at which things are triggered. If you go to low, things just run a little inefficiently slow, and if you go too high, you have a bunch of materials sitting in buffers, but it never overflows, and you can tune it to perfection.

In what way? In general? If misused/ intentionally abused? When used in large numbers? Are these reports recent? Any details may help.

I very much enjoy CC, it is one of my favorite mods in the Technic pack. Unfortunately, it seems like it is banned on all the nice servers. I had a very difficult time trying to find a nice server that supported turtles, but I eventually gave up. I am willing to build bukkit mods and mod computercraft itself to make this happen, and I am on good terms with one of the official maintainers. I would really like to know: Why exactly is ComputerCraft such a problem? One of the great benefits of CC is the fact that a server owner can customize the built-in OS to change what users are and are not allowed to do with their computers, and while it is very difficult, a patch could be made to stop any griefing exploits, or even just performance issues. BTW, if you do know of any current exploits, you might not want to just outright post them. Just give me hints, or PM me. If you don't know, but play on a server that does have CC banned, I would also appreciate it if you could ask your server owners about it. Thanks for the help, and I hope we can move ComputerCraft a little bit further from EE and BC and more towards RP and IC. :D
