@Biggio509 -- thank you for the extremely detailed information - !
You are welcome. As for the practicality of say 175 feeders I never had a problem with that on my machine. I also haven't set up feeders for a couple of versions though. What makes one man CPU run slow may be no problem for another machine. CPU, HD speed, and memory all play a factor in game simulation speed. I have noticed OOTP seems faster every version though.

One tip if you experiencing slowness in areas other than OOTP download Core Temp. I was virus and spyware free but having huge problems with my machine slowing down. It turns out my CPU fan was going bad. At 60 degree Celsius my main board would slow down my CPU speed to lower heat. I found my CPU was running from 60 to 65 C. Once I looked and saw my fan was stopping at times then going again I was able to buy a $20 heat sink and fan that fixed the problem. Now that CPU temp is 40 to 50, 50 maybe a little higher I think I put too much thermal paste on, the machine runs just like it did 5 or more years ago when I built with a Dual Core E6600. About $50 bucks later I replaced my CPU fan and case fans and I am running fine again.

I think CPU heat is something over looked on older machines. That fan will wear out long before your CPU does and if your processor overheats the mainboard seriously clocks down your processor to keep it from getting damaged.
