Adds a special buffer chest that teleports items to entities within a configurable distance, whenever there are open logistic requests (e.g. from requester chests, spidertrons, or player characters).
something about having a lot of chests being used (ie. lots of requests being sent) starts causing stuttering. Is there anything I can do besides use less?
No, using less chests is probably the only way to effectively reduce stutters caused by the mod. Alternatively, you could also increase the "process interval" (mod setting), but that's likely to only lower the frequency of the stutters.
At some point, I might try to optimize the code for a high number of chests, but personally I never used many chests at once.
