Optimizing hauling by placing the butcher table in your main storage.
My comment in this post confused people and I would like to make a post to help visualize it.
The test set up. 20 muffalo corpses, lvl 20 cooking, task set to drop only.
Test 1: We are butchering in a separate room with heaters and a dedicated hauler transport the meat and fur to their dedicated storage space.
Test 2: We do the butchering in the refrigerated main storage itself with the temp penalty.
As you can see, while Test 1 finished 1 hour earlier, it also took an additional hour of the hauler's time so it's break even between the tests. However, Test 1 set up takes much more space, a butcher room + a storage while test 2 is theoretically only the left half of the picture above.
Take note that this is quite efficient because the hauler is restricted to the test area only. In game, haulers are not this efficient and they will take more time.
In game it would be something like this, I know I use stack xxl but this work in vanilla too:
