Again, all dependent on the wiki for accuracy.
Unsurprisingly, they suffer from horrifying diminishing returns. Even if you use all 5 threads to upgrade, going from level 20 to 21 will take a full week to pay off the time lost in upgrading, while the time lost going from 0 to 1, and 1 to 2 will barely be noticeable.
Overall, each level becomes less and less cost effective, with you paying more and more to cram power into a tiny space. Again, not exactly uncommon in a game like this.
Interestingly, the two types are not mirrors of each other. Bitcoins fill up faster initially, having a lower capacity to generation ratio. However, it evens out as it grows. Server farms seem to jump in capacity significantly periodically.
Server farm level 2 takes a full half hour while bitcoin mine takes 5 minutes, and server farm 21 takes an extra hour for some reason.
At max level, both take a full 2 days to fill up entirely, and are also able to support an upgrade from 20 to 21 with some change left over.
Overall, it takes just under 48 days to build and max out a resource producer. Or 24, 18, 12, and 9.6 days depending on thread count.
While you cannot directly compare the opportunity costs due to them not costing what they produce, you can look at the other one.
242 hours, or just over 10 more days, or 158, or around 10.5 days to pay off the full upgrade cost with the new production. Overall, just about two months with one thread, or 3 weeks using all 5.

don't want to attract too much attention overnight when I sleep and farms gather. 34lvl here
