The advantage of Fastcraft

[Mr.SHME]

I have a R9 290, a 3570K, 16gb of ram, and everything is running of an ssd, and yet basically every modpack I have ever played for minecraft ends up microstuttering. All my drivers are updated, shit I have even tried it on my secondary windows installation (for used for testing purposes) and the stuttering was still present. Then today I tried fast craft for the first time, and well, the stuttering is 90% gone!

Here are the comparisons between running material energy stock, with just optifine, and with just fastcraft:

Here is a readup on microstuttering for anyone who want to learn more http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/frame_time_analysis,1.html

I have actually managed to get Fastcraft to fail horribly when my Cauldron server didn't - so there is certainly room for FastCraft to improve still.

But it makes large 1.7.10 modpacks playable in single player, and makes pregenerating terrain in smp not as necessary. It's practically mandatory.

I love how the optifine graph and the stock graphs are almost identical.
Then again Optifine does something way different to what Fastcraft does.
