Woah there. You come to our server, knowing none of the history or background, and just start yelling?
The staff team here have EXTREMELY good reason for everything we do. I suggest instead of immediately going off, you poke around a bit. Look at what has been going on, read announcements, follow twitter.
Everything is documented and has extremely good reasoning. Don't come here and expect to yell at me, because you I don't like that shit.
If it is supposed to reduce lag why are chunks not being rendered? Or is this being caused by some other problem? I've never had problems with chunks before.
Echo put on another plugin that's supposed to send chunk data for the chunks closest to you first, and work outward, which means that it has to gather the data and send it in the right order, rather than any damn order it pleases. This may cause some lag because he may still have to fiddle with the plugin a bit, seeing as he could configure how much chunk data the server sends to you at a time.
(Not sure about any of that, but that's the gist of what I got from his description.)
