That topic is wonderful as well as gigantic! 
I promise that I will take care of that soon but have some exams in between and I really want to dig deep here and see what we can extract from your observations for other users to save computing power by building the knowledge of our users and simply be more efficient when it comes to topics like that. Guess I would then just create a new SimWiki article and type everything in \LaTeX as a “best practice booklet” with big props to Dale Kramer! 
Cheers and stay inquisitive!
