Fast belts have lower density, than other belts

[Cerbsen]

Tested with 0.10.12 and 0.11.3.

A line of 100 normal or express belts at maximum compression contain 712 items, while fast belts only contain 642 items.

This could explain the Transport belts/Physics results.

Awaited throughput items/min would be 1444,5, so measured results are only 82% off.

Just to be sure though this has nothing to do with corners, unless I'm missing something? What the OP seems to be showing is that for a perfectly straight fixed length of belt, fast belts cannot hold as many items as basic or express belts ...that doesn't make much sense.

Already tested and proved.. refer to the post by "mieze :3"':
