FPS drop since 4.58

[DaveYanakov]

Ran up a creative world just to see if there was any change in chunk generation and the difference is spectacular. Peaked at 119 chunk updates and never dropped below 41 fps, usually was above 55. Not a single transparent world error in twenty minutes of flying across the map where they used to occur every five chunks traveled.
Still getting as much major lag in the nether as ever but I'm willing to lay down money that it has more to do with the number of lava flow updates and sheer mass of non-air blocks.

Hehe...wow, ok, I wasn't expecting such a definitive result here.

Keep in mind guys, this is just me fixing the error I made about a month ago. Since this is working so well, more goodies to come in the near future :)

Seems to be working well for me too. In the heart of my BTW world before the patch my frame rate tended in the low to mid 20's peaking at around 40. With the patch I now get steady frame rates in the low 30's and often never drop below 28 FPS. This fix is pretty sweet. :)

I tried it under raining conditions which usually tanked my performance.
Before fix: 11 FPS and 1 second input delay when exposed to rain
After fix: 20 FPS and no delay

My FPS didn't improve much but that's because of my specs and the fact that it was still raining, but the delay was fixed by this and it was a big problem for me. Really really nice, now I hate rain a little bit less than before, thank you FC.

EDIT: the rain delay is still there, it's just much less noticeable. Also, the class file messes up the connected textures mod.

Before: 20-45 FPS
Now: 60-70 FPS

I can't thank you enough.

Awesomesauce :)

My apologies for that happening in the first place guys. I must have been having an off day when I did that, then forgot all about it. I didn't even think of that bit of code when this issue came up, and didn't remember it until I saw it while performing the update to 1.5.

On the bright side though, like I said, this will mean that there's *way* more I can do to help people performance to improve it beyond vanilla standards.

After some testing, I'm seeing about a 20% increase in FPS with the patch. Thanks a lot, FC! My low-end computer needs all the help it can get.
