Ethereal Blooms and Silverwood trees.
The blooms clean taint within an 8-block circle (maybe sphere, I dunno).
The Silverwood saplings need to be placed just outside the area so they can grow before they become tainted. Once grown, if they have a pure node in the trunk they create a magical forest and start to override the taint.
Huh. My old as hell tests included Silverwood Saplings and trying to get nodes. Do we have to wait for them to grow naturally?
Tainted land biomes do NOT spawn fiber, at least in magic farm.
If you have the biome free of fiber, it will stay free.
People have indicated that if the biome can spread, then when it spreads it may generate fiber; as far as I know, this requires an infected node (based on what I've heard from others, value at two gains of salt).
A bloom changes the biome. Taint-blocks -- fiber, grass, plants, spores, soil, and tainticles -- all die / change to normal when in non-tainted land biomes.
So a bloom will result in, assuming nothing changes the biome back, elimination of the taint objects at all height.
Trigger ... my current working hypothesis is either: 1, very low chance at any time, or 2, chance dependent on total active taint activity.
Aesthetics: Some people like purple grass and sky.
Well, some good news, I may have some improvements for launch arguments for you soon. I'm focusing on testing magic farm, and tossing out problem ideas that fail in testing.
How many cores, and how much memory is available for java, on your machine?
I usually let them grow naturally, but I think I got one using a hoe of growth once.
Core 2 duo, 8 gb ram, 3gb for minecraft but the memory never reach 2gb at F3 information. At direwolf 1.5.2 i was playing 20~30 fps.
its 2 cores, the last intel tech before i3.
I play single player
My game is "Stuttering" 2~5 seconds, i tried optifine but never helped me even disabling anything, i only kept the animations, so i dont use optifine anymore.

Alright. 2 real cores, and no hyperthreading virtual cores, with lots of stuttering.
Try the following startup arguments:
-Xincgc
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrentAndUnloadsClasses
-XX:-CMSPrecleaningEnabled -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=0
-XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=82 -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=21
-XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=25 -XX:SurvivorRatio=4
-XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC -XX:+PrintGCDetails
-XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -Xloggc:GC.log
EDIT: If you don't use the FTB launcher, add this flag as well:
-XX:MaxPermSize=250m
It should give an improvement; consider it a work-in-progress. I'm assuming Java 7 (I'm no longer testing java 6)
I have Intel 3000 HD graphics on my system, and it can handle the graphical load even in the jungle on fancy. But I have an 8 core system that doesn't even get to 50%, so I'm not sure how much of that is just CPU overkill. Start with this, try fast and/or short render distance, and if it's still giving stutters, let me see that GC.log file please.

I just confirmed that the taint vines will regrow/reappear in tainted biomes even after destroying them all with creative. Which means that the only way to stop taint is to change the biome and it also means that nuking it has no effect. Since it will just regrow over time until the biome is corrected via the methods already disused.
Did you make sure to eliminate ALL the tendrils, including all of them that could have spawned in underground tunnels? Or did you test on a superflat with no tunnels?

No changes, its your log, so big to copy and paste here or pastebin site

Since taint doesn't go through half slabs, could you create a wall (one slab per block space ) around the taint with them from bedrock?
Interesting.
You're stable at about 820 MB of needed tenure space until about an hour and a half into the log (about 6,000 seconds).
Then it starts to go up.
Nothing that I'm seeing in that log shows any problem from garbage collection, and you've said that you have lots of memory available, so it wouldn't be swap space fighting.
Hmm.
Eyamaz is working on the compilation control flags; maybe he can help you.
All I can say is that your memory behavior is just fine, and it's not garbage collection.
Its my tainted test area, a msytcraft world with low light lvls
The up and sides torches are markers of the initial taint color at max tainted node range
