I tried a configuration with low distance settings to improve performance, setting every setting in the betterfoliage.cfg to distance=128.

When spawning or when rebuilding chunks (e.g. by changing draw distance), the radius around the player character is drawn correctly. When I start to move outside of this radius though, better foliage doesn't update accordingly -- the drawn circle remains the same so I can effectively move out and back into the rendered area.
