I found that a minecart-based fog generator works reliably, is quick to set up, needs almost no space and does not drain the FPS. Very much superior to the usual pump solutions.

Why can't people post detailed explanations (or links to wiki pages or previous posts) when they tease things like this? Neither Mist nor Minecart mentions anything about this. Would love to hear more.

If you run your minecart under water, it will fill with water.

If you later have it dump into open space, the water will fall as mist.

So if you have a circuit by which carts go through water, fill up, and then ramp up above (for example) your dining hall, and then dump, it'll keep the mist flowing without complex pump systems or potential flooding.

The physics involved in this operation make my eyes water.

It even seems that dwarf-physics allows up to 12 minecarts full of magma to be loaded into a single minecart which may then be put into a wheelbarrow for fast transportation.
