A Mekanism machine upgrade to make them process items faster each Mekanism machine can store 8 of these upgrades.
HINT: upgrade your power setup before upgrading your machines, as the power usage per tick begins to escalate with every speed upgrade applied, requiring more power to complete a single machine process.
HINT: (For machines that use gasses) Machines consume gasses based on how long they are running. that means using speed upgrades will increase the gas efficiency.

Heres a table of the various parameters regarding upgrades:

Speed Indicated	Absolute Speed (20 ticks = 1 sec)	Relative Speed	Power Usage	Total Power Usage for each Operation
x1	200 ticks	100%	50 j/t	10 000 j
x2	149 ticks	134.2%	88 j/t	13 112 j
x3	112 ticks	178.6%	158 j/t	17 696 j
x4	84 ticks	238.1%	281 j/t	23 604 j
x5	63 ticks	317.5%	500 j/t	31 500 j
x6	47 ticks	425.5%	889 j/t	41 783 j
x7	35 ticks	571.4%	1 580 j/t	55 300 j
x8	26 ticks	769.2%	2 810 j/t	73 060 j
x9	20 ticks	1000%	5 000 j/t	100 000 j

Note that every speed upgrade makes the machine 33% faster, and the Power Usage increases with ~77% (33²%), which makes for an increase in power usage for each operation with 33%
