Beacon effect timer runs down to zero, effects go away, then a second later they come back, problem repeats. Seems to be a problem with just my world. Another world it still works fine. Also, problem is the same when playing the same world on my server or if I download it and try it in single player.

I am having this issue as well with the beacon in out server in my house, but a different beacon with the same effects (regen 1 speed 1) at a different location on the same server is not having this issue. This is not fixed by leaving the area and re-loading it , buff still runs out for approximatly 3 seconds then refreshes.
I can confirm this problem in 1.8.
What happens:
1.) Beacon applies effect. UI moves and player gets particles.
2.) Beacon effect runs out. UI moves back and player loses particles.
3.) Player gets frustrated because he is in his base trying to craft and the UI moves 2 times every 10 seconds or so.
goto: 1.)
This effect of the beacon is also discussed a bit in MC-44304.
In MC-67798 the problem with the UI moving is discussed (But closed as "working as intended" after misunderstanding the real problem).
This is probably caused by the server not having exactly 20 ticks per second, and thus the beacon effect gets turned off/on again resulting in a moved UI every time (makin crafting almost impossible).
What is causing the lag is (at least on our server) are for example the following:
In general the spawning algorithm and pathfinding is eating the CPU of the server.
(It should be possible to have villagers in your base without the server slowing down tbh.)
Anyway.. Back to this issue..
The problem with the beacons losing the effect is annoying, but playing without beacon effect for 10-20% of the time is something that you can live with. What is more anoying is the moving UI when this happens.
It makes it impossible to do any kind of crafting with a beacon turned on in the area.
Are you standing still inside the range of the beacon or running outside the range and then inside again ?
