This game seems to be CPU intensive. Am I right or am I seeing things?

It only utilizes a single core on the CPU and doesn't utilize the GPU enough. Either way I get like 200+ FPS, any lag I get is network based.

The networking code that updates the client from the server needs to be torn apart and completely rewritten. There is way to much needless world data being sent.
It should only send what you can see, and only load sections as you get close to them. There is no reason to load the data all the way down to the bedrock if you are standing on top of a mountain. I am also not sure if Notch's NBT format is a best fit for the way this game works. It seems like this could use a bit of tightening up too. But hey ... the game has made over $32M so who am I to be overly critical.

It very much does, but horizontally. It loads the chunks as you walk, however, vertically I agree with you. Maybe the chuck size should be reduced, I believe right now there are 16x128. If they were 16x16 I could see an increase in efficiency.

That's what I meant, on my pathetic connection I can walk and come to a point where I have to stop and can see the world open all the way down to the bedrock. It's nice for spotting diamond deposits if I don't get disconnected. lol

Why would you run it under XP Mode?

The best way I can think of to describe Minecraft is like a 3D Etch-a-Sketch that makes you work for each part of your drawing. There is no goal other than building whatever you want. On a survival server, they say the goal is to survive. But the only reason to survive is so you can continue building, so that too has no real meaning other than to add a little battle dimension to the game. If you want hardcore FPS action or deep RTS intrigue then Minecraft is not for you. If you want to run around and build crazy stuff for no other reason than that you could ... you may like it. For me, the building of goofy (or awesome) stuff and the hysterical community chat on the servers make the game a good time without any real stress. Just my opinion.

Well I've had the game for about a month...never really played it until last night. It's freaking awesome! I have no idea how to get started online, but feel I need to learn more offline before venturing into anyone else's world. I'm still learning the ropes, but I have about 2 hours under my belt...it felt like 15 minutes to be honest.

You are wrong, Kursah. The best way is to get Newt or Easy to whitelist you on their server and go for it.

Anything with an ION chipset should be able to handle it at the tiny netbook LCD resolution.

32 x 64 = 2048 stone slabs. At a road of 4 x 2, assuming no hills, that means you went 2048 / 8 blocks in a direction, which means 256 blocks per inventory, a total of 1280 from the origin.
