Differences between Distant Horizons and Farsight?

So I'm having trouble finding the difference between the two mods. However one of my friend is having more performance-related issue with Distant Horizons than they did with Farsight.
If someone can help me telling me about the more technical side of differences between the two mods, I would greatly appreciate it.
Solution
From the description it sounds like Farsight simply keeps chunks loaded after they leave your normal view distance.
Distant Horizons creates LODs, which are simplified versions of those chunks, in order to reduce the load on the client machine.
Distant Horizons also has proper multiplayer support, meaning you don't actually have to travel to all the chunks in order to load them. A server with DH installed will just send the LOD data while you're playing like normal.
