The bug

Basically, signs and their characters are rendered over a very large distance. Now, this is fine for small stuff, like Survival Single Player, but for servers using iConomy chestshops, and building markets out of them, this turns into a nightmare.

I've witnessed fps drops from 134 fps to 5 fps due to this annoyance. There is a mod that fixed this problem, but not everyone is capable of modding that easily. Mostly happens on computers with low-end hardware.

Example

Below you can see a screenshot of a server-market I mean. It might not look that impressive from that angle, but believe me, walking through it reduced fps by something around 90%.

Now look at the second screenshot. Imagine the market filled.. Each shop averagely has about 15-20 chest-shops. that's about 15-20 signs each having at least more than 20 characters on em, averagely 25. The grid is 10x10 minus lets say.. 9 shops (middle and corners), makes 91. About every sign's text gets rendered when standing in there. There are probably like 75 random signs with other text spread through the market, each definitely having more than 40 chars, say 50 averagely?

Calculation: (20 * 20 * 91) + (50 * 75) = 36400 + 3750 = 40150 characters.

Potential fix

Please make a slider in the options menu that adjusts the character-on-sign rendering distance, perhaps make it change along with the "fast/fancy" render setting, it would be a huge relief to those that don't have the processing power to draw all those signs in a server-market. This would make a server-market a lot more viable use, instead of scaring people away because their computer can't handle it.
