Great to hear from you, Aaron!

I agree that formulas are a must, because diminishing returns of research is very important for playbalance. If you have concerns about the speed, how about parsing the formulas only once, at game setup, creating a table with hard numbers and save them to a file? In times where a Gigabyte more or less is not an issue, it is always a good idea to trade disk space for processing time if in need.
