Reduced View Distance?

It seems like nearby chunks of land aren't loading anymore. With my view distance set to "far", the land just cuts off at a point instead of.. well, being able to see it. I figured that this was a server setting that Intelli implemented to temporarily reduce lag (it started a few days ago for me)... but it is still there even after the redstone wipe. I'm just wondering if anyone else noticed this or has any information about it.

Setting my view distance to "Short" seems to add the fog in the appropriate place... normal and Far don't actually increase my view distance.. they just remove the fog.

I believe Intelli reduced the distance from the player in which chunks are loaded. This would help drasticallt reduce the load on the server and in doing so reduce lag.

Sacrifices have to be made, I can live with less render distance if it makes the server playable again.

I'll check when I get home, but I didn't see anything unusual.

Yea, Viewing distance was reduced. Really sucks now if you used buildings as markers and you cant see it anymore untill you get close enough to it. Going up higher doesnt help there either.
