Hi there

I couldn't help but notice that this mod - at least on my machine - noticeably affects UPS, e.g. (F5):
- mod-factory_solver: 1.358/0.101/567.564
- mod-factory_solver: 6.902/0.786/15.812
- mod-factory_solver: 1.743/0.824/155.280

I have a lot of mods installed, so I don't know if there are side-effects. But I'm surprised by these numbers - especially since I did nothing with the mod so far (at least not that I know, maybe I hit some key combination?). I wonder what the mod is calculating continuously? Can you share any insights or have tips how to reduce the load on UPS? I tried to figure out what you're doing in control.lua's on_tick, but I'm not sure what's going on there...

Thank you!
