Well, accumulators and solar panels are unified into one calculation. Something like (SolarPanelQuantity * SunlightPercentage * 60kW). So the entire set of wired up solars and accus in one power network only take one calculation for a practically unlimited number of them.

The real UPS loss comes from belts, inserters, and pipes. Things that need to be simulated per-tile, instead of per-group. And UPS loss doesn't really come until you notice it, due to differences in your factory, and the computer you use to run factorio.

how can u even tell how many "machines u have" ?
but dont start fearing lag until u reached at least the 1k science / 1rpm size.
Atleast on my i5 im now on +- 1.5K science/min on a full belt set-up and im just now dipping getting 55-60 UPS.
And still 60 as soon as the research stops.


on that note, how long is the wait till .16 and belt optimisation, i wanna continue my game :P
