I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

I tested your modifications and went to see the exact same view as in that screenshot - and guess what, steady 20 fps instead of your steady 60. My guess is that you just went ahead and checked that "ok, frame rate 60, good!" with almost no chunks loaded and visible. Guess what, I get steady 60 fps ...

Where did you pull these numbers from? If you just look at a wall larger than 16x16 blocks, that already has more than 500 triangles drawn. If we look at, for example, this screenshot , it has easily over 25000 triangles drawn on every single frame. I don't know about Crysis, but I doubt it has as m...

No, it does not.
Outputting small amounts of text costs practically no CPU cycles when compared to the real game. And anyway, if you are running just a client, your bottleneck is not your CPU, but your GPU, which can't output data any faster.
