What the FUCK half of these Chinese mods are about is beyond my understanding

… You’re having trouble understanding what a mod called “better performance” might do?

That could mean literally a million things, and with the community's misconceptions on what causes lag, it could also do nothing or make it worse.

If I am installing a mod, I want to know details of how it does what it claims to do

I fail to see what the problem is here. The mod’s description is in English. You could read it.

Besides which, the commenter I replied to didn’t say “I don’t know what the inner workings of this mod are”, they said that what this Chinese mod was about is beyond their understanding, despite the purpose of the mod being very visibly in English.

Think about cars, performance has multiple angles: You can increase power, transmission, traction, handling etc.

Would you install a Chinese part in your car if you don't even know what exactly it's supposed to do. Will my engine get more power or will my breaks perform different or neither because it's a translation arror and I got a phone charger with a GPS tracker that's plugged in the cigarette lighter

the description is in English, and it's popular enough to be included in a lot of mod packs.

Didn't know, and apparently the person I answered to, didn't either

The mod is in legible, properly translated English, which is not only clearly visible in the image provided by OP but you could have independently verified yourself in under a minute.

Are you asking me to imagine a world where this isn’t the case just so we can pretend the commenter I replied to didn’t make a fool of themselves? What’s the play here?

weird that you keep emphasising “Chinese”. you got something you need to get off your chest?
