When teleported by command block (I haven't tested player-activated /tp yet), there is consistently a moment in which I can see the outside surroundings of my map, similar to 1.7 teleportation (though velocity does appear to be maintained). Before 14w31a, teleportations were almost completely smooth in the 1.8 snapshots.

This has happened ever since Mojang increased the chunk loading times. I'm not sure they will fix it.
Actually, the teleporting is not smooth in many instances as of late snapshots.

Concur! The location that you teleport to is incorrect as well... sometimes you are higher or lower and sometimes 2 or 3 blocks from x,z of the command.
