On startup, I noticed that the timers were set on 0.2 intervals: this usually causes much lag, especially when grouped together.

On another note, Ender Chests. Not particularly a good factory part as people can reroute the chests to their own desire and steal all of your output/parts.

Same with Wireless Redstone. Someone could jam it via a Jammer, find the location of the factory using a Sniffer and a Triangulator, or remotely jam it by sending their own constantly-on signal, ultimately rendering the timing off or completely shutdown.

Another note, consuming EU to power machines in a factory. A more reliable source--if you have the EMC or collectors--is to condense Redstone via 2 powerflowers and use the Redstone to power the machines. Two should do for the whole factory. A benefit of using Redstone is that the overclockers are more effective, and you can get day/night factory power.

Also the chests of overflowed materials. Usually I just leave the auto-craft-table's output to another auto-craft-table instead of to a chest so when it requests material, it gets the material. Rather than running out of base materials by storing items and keeping back the whole factory progress.

Anything else I missed, probably will comment later.
