Tick timing

How long each setup's block entity takes to tick, measured by the tick-timing game tests: the whole of the level's call into its ticker, as Spark or Observable would show it. Each scenario warms up, then records every tick; the median is the figure to watch, since a stray GC pause moves only the tail. A test fails if its median goes over its budget. Laser networks have no block entity doing the work: theirs is the level's laser manager, all its networks together.

Regenerated by ./gradlew runGameTestServer; the numbers are from the machine that last ran it, so compare rows with each other rather than with another machine's.

Measured 2026-10-12 on Linux amd64, 20 cores, Java 25.0.4.1; 2,000 ticks of warm-up, then 1,000 recorded.
