I've been profiling the game on the Raspberry Pi (running at about 10fps if there are no blocks coming in).
Would I be correct in assuming that all solid nodes in a block are drawn? I don't understand the structures enough yet (using a text editor, atm) so I can't see how the nodes and the blockmesh are connected, but I can see that the nodes are drawn in clientmap.cpp. What I want to do is not send for drawing, nodes that have neighbours on each side, and only update their status if a neighbouring block is destroyed.
I also read somewhere (but I've forgotten) that there was an optimisation that sorted block meshes based on texture? I'd love to have a look at that too.
Can anyone with more knowledge than I point me in the right direction?

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

Not drawing if six solid neighbours
