I aggregate some chest to chest connections with several belts and mostly only one belt ist filled to the brim, while the others are only in use sporadically.
The sending router is filled by several inputs and runs into state of "overflow items", when those get 0 some requests are spread also to other belts, but it seems only one slot at a time, so the router will be filled again till overflow, so at the moment it doesn't scale well using parallel belts.
