Actually, I've found that it generates no lag when all the storage units are full. The only possible negative side effect I've seen, is a glitch where, whenever you go away from said structure, it lags so badly, that I got 1-2 FPS, instead of my usual 30-45 FPS. Only ways to fix, head back to it, or restart client whenever you want to walk away. Then again, I still havent checked to see if that is the definite cause of said lag. In the same tiny area I also had 20 Geothermal generators, 2 mass fabs, 13 batboxes, 6 MFE's, 1 MFSU, a ton of other machines, and wires going everywhere.
