My home machine is ok, I play with a 64 bit texture pack, but I can't play on Far.
Part of it is that I've built a GIANT building, and just being near it lags the game pretty hard. Being in it is almost a non-starter.
I thought I was making a cool watch tower with some lava at the top, but didn't realize I hadn't placed one block of glass, so when I dumped 4 bucks of lava into it they destroyed the tower (the rest was wood) and now I have a massive lava flow that looks kinda awesome. (there's a flow the same size behind the stone tower you can't see)
In terms of scope- the larger building is at the max possible height. It's the biggest single building on the server and it feels like it took years to make (it started out as a cliff that I hollowed out and then build up on)
