Feature: ability to disable entire networks (all connected parts and readers)

Short description:

Often an Integrated Dynamics network does not need to be running permanently. I would appreciate a way to turn off an entire ID network, such that its parts and readers are not actively checked at all. This should be a Redstone input, such that a lever or Redstone logic can be used to toggle it.

The example use case is a mob farm with toggle-able light sources - it has quite many predicate based ID filters, which can cause lag. I would love to be able to toggle the ID network along with the light sources, such that parts and variables only ever operate while the farm is in-use.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for noticing so quickly. I know this is at its core a performance problem, but i think a solution like this can help ameliorate those issues with hopefully much less implementation effort.

My current solution involves a logic cable which connects the variable stores to the network, which you break, effectively disabling it.
