How to reduce lag around redstone builds

[WECole]

I found this great post about lag created by builds, specifically redstone builds..

http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum...015440-how-to-effectively-reduce-redstone-lag

It basically boils down to one bit of advice.... saturate your build area with light (specifically, glowstone) because the block light level updates (how the server updates each block's light level) is the single biggest producer of lag and all those redstone torches and repeaters make the server have to constantly update surrounding block light levels, causing massive lag.

I'd recommend reading the post - it's very interesting.

I did find that my sorter especially was nicer when I had lit it up, Will definitely making a concerted effort to use more light and glowstone when making more redstone.
