what is distant generation?

what exactly is distant generation? is it like trying to preload chunks outside of my render distance? like for example if i have the LOD redner distance to 50 chunks, but have only a render distance of 20 chunks. it tries to generate does other 30 chunks? Can i still have LODs without distant generation then? what if i only want LODs to appear where I've been and dont mind if it looks incomplete and want to actually manually walk and generate chunks?

Does C2ME slow down distant horizons as a whole? or just the distant generation?

Alright nice Now if I lower DH LOD quality will the LODs generate faster? This is for the LODs not generating terrain. And if I do this to make it faster can I just increase the quality later or do I have to fly over and “regenerate” the LOD

Pretty sure lowering quality has little to no impact on generation speed, and no you don’t have to “regenerate” lods when changing quality
