What would directly tell people what the slider does is a ground outline
on the terrain showing how far away items will be shown (similar to
property lines ie shown directly on the ground). Along with things
starting to appear or vanish as they play with the slider, there should
be no confusion about the function.
Along with that, provide a tooltip explaining the more area you see, the
slower things will run. If you want to cover the case of people flying
or in a skybox, do it as a temporary horizontal ~50% opaque red circle
centered on the avatar, which persists for several seconds after moving
the slider.
