Additional details
Fast Furnace wasn't updated for quite a few months, but recently a 1.16.5 version has been pushed out. Meanwhile, some parts of the mod have been integrated into Fabric API already, but not all (so it still gives a performance improvement):

I'm confused about what it does and where. Does it only work on singleplayer? Only on Fabric servers?

"Caching the recipe lookup" sounds like it could conflict with servers/maps that add and remove recipes on demand, like some old ViaVersion servers or new minigame maps.
Also concerned about having any perceptible benefit, maybe it's just better to merge it fully with Fabric API.

[NebelNidas]

So it doesn't help when playing on servers, but it speeds up the internal server when in Singleplayer.

Okay, maybe but I still hope it will be included in Fabric API or Minecraft itself. I don't really like the idea of fixing random Mojang bugs with mods.

I have experience with hosting servers with FastFurnace and FastBench #43.

Both mods consistently cause issues relating to shift clicking items around, while providing little performance gain (and sometimes a loss).

Thank you for the information.
