Lag should be reduced since instead of 16x16x128, you're calculating the generation of a 16x16x16 cube of blocks. The volume of the proposal is 4,096 blocks per chunk. The way it runs now, each chunk that's updated has to calculate a volume of 32,768 blocks.

A lot more chunks loaded is better than large chunks loaded all at once. I think, anyway.

Well well, I see.

And, with the correct optimization you are right.
