So called "Draw Limit"

[Fierra2005]

In Jeck Jims' MD2s Playershadows in the SRB2 Messageboard, There was a line in the Known "Issues" that read:
An excessive amount of MD2 models on screen or in the area will cause Frame issues, I suggest turning on Limit Draw (render distance for objects) in 3D options. Is he saying to lower the draw distance?

That's what it sounds like. You can go to Options > Video Options and then adjust the Draw Distance.

If you aren't facing any issues, you don't need to adjust it.
