* Be sure to disable "lazy chunk loading" for any singleplayer install. If this setting is enabled (which it usually is by default), it prevents any chunks loaded by proximity to your character from being unloaded until you leave and re-enter the world, which will rapidly consume all of your RAM if you do any significant amount of travelling. This change is unnecessary if you ''only'' play on a server, in which case the clientside-only Optifine settings cannot influence the chunkloading of the server. Set<code>ofLazyChunkLoading:false</code> in optionsof.txt which is located in the main Minecraft folder (not in the mod options folder, one above).
