im not sure if that make difrance for me but if its not hurting my performance i hope its helping.
FPS: 15-20 in base . Chunks loading bring it way down rerly to 10 but it keep up att 15 even wen moving high speed. Outh of base whit chunk loaded i have 30-40.
Frst i started whit Normal 32 distance whit 25-30 FPS but eventualy in my base lover FPS to 15-20.
My seting we difrent, usual, reduced render distance a bit, turned off clouds and fog but then i nothice a strenge thing.
Even whit a tiny render distance my FPS wont go up (becouse all of 40 animals i got in my base, probably..) so i changet my render distance way up to Far and my fps stay same ...
So my conclusion is that you can not incrise FPS so easy.
My HDD (FTB Unleashed) is defragmented whit UltimatDefrag, it wont bost FPS but i gess it help whit loding new chunks and help whit stabilisation of FPS.
My memory dont help to incrise FPS directly but what it do is making my render distance mach larger easy and in same time incrise speed of chunk loding and whit larger render distance it actualy help your FPS stabilisation becouse it reduce need of constant chunk loding.
So even 15-20 FPS sims low its actualy realy nice and smooth. My FPS only get choppy wen using NEI and i open close inventory a loot. But whit use of Forestry Crafting Table (Worktable) i avoid lagg.
I hope people now beter understand that having 20 FPS is not soo scary if you have learned how to keep them smooth.
Well thos are my observations i hope they make sence considering my bad Eanglish.
