ViewDistance has a default settable in the settings.ini. I don't think GenerateDistance needs any setting right now, because with the newly acquire architecture (composable_generator) both the generation and lighting are lightning-fast and thread-isolated. I haven't seen any lags on the client whatsoever.
Tbar, can you perhaps try one of the newer revisions (502+) on your special hardware to see how it works? I'd like to hear about performance on something other than x86. I also wonder what will single-threaded CPUs do with our multi-threaded code. I was wondering if any thread prioritization (client socket connections - higher priority, generator thread - lower priority) might come in handy.
