Project Red How good are Project Red's item pipes ?

[Niverton]

Logistic Pipes are crashing tekkit, so I was looking for a replacement to them, and I don't really want to use an ME system (these are not really fun). So I looked on Project Red's pipe, but I was told that they are (or at least were) really server intensive. Is that still true for 1.2.9d ? They work exactly like Logistic pipes but are better looking, and I like to see items moving in pipes.

After some testing, they seem to work fine, the items in the pipes blink some times, but it's fast, efficient and doesn't seem to make a server lag. Downside: expensive, pain to craft because need so many dyes or colored sapplings when you want something big (I'm using them in a colored trees farm, so wasn't really a problem)

Good to know they will work when an alternative is required. However, Itemducts work fine for me in most cases - and an ME network does have its merits in late game for all cases which Itemducts won't cover well. For speed, Impulse Itemducts can be surprisingly useful.
