Explanation

The 441 chunk loading engine is pretty much what the name is. The reason for it being 441 chunks is that it generates chunks in a 10 chunk radius as a square. So multiply that by 2, add 1 (because you are standing on a chunk) and square it. Fastload removes this feature as it is a huge waste of time. Instead, it will only load 1 chunk (the spawn chunk) and loads the rest of the spawn region during early rendering.

Along with that, it also replaces some of the loading screens with its own implementation. This pretty much allows rendering to begin immediately instead of it being halted until the player spawn packet is received.
