In this uncut boring video I'm going to do a lag comparison between a optimally made box loader mockup for both single and double hopper speed. I often find people that don't know that the original purpose of the double speed designs was to be compact and easier to build rather than causing low lag. This was done in the 1.18.1 version using carpet mod so if your server does not have the same version or uses mods that can impact the performance you should test it for yourself.
