Modules work on cycles.
So do warps, locks and pretty much everything in EVE. The interface is different, you don't see the wheel winding up your warp but it is the same principle.

If I have a warp from gate to gate, insert the cycle wheel, it will take me xxx seconds to complete that cycle and land on the other gate.

Ti-Di simply multiplies your cycle times. Suppose you are mining in a system that has Ti-Di and I am mining in one that doesn't. Guess who mines twice as much? Ti-Di is in fact a penalty to everyone on the node based on a universal demand for one.

In a way, yes, but it is a penalty that is far preferable to the alternative... that being the entire node crashing (or worse, locking up for some but not for others).
I'd much rather proceed slowly than not proceed at all.
