If I have a geothermal generator going into a batbox and then going into a furnace. It means the furnace is using slightly less than the geothermal makes. This makes the geothermal rapidly turn on and off and uses massive system resources. I've only tested this with a geotherm, batbox and furnace, but I imagine it would be the same with any generator that generates power as it's needed.

1. It does not use any relevant CPU. Seriously, Minecraft is (even if you're entirely idle) constantly re-rendering hundreds of blocks. A single flashing one does not make any real difference.
2. However, it DOES waste energy. The Geo will loose 1 EU, and then power 1 unit lava woth of 10 EU to just refuel this 1 EU. The problem is fixed for 1.0 already, though. -
However it's also annoying
