When I create a new world nothing generates and I slowly drift downwards. Eventually the world appears and I get teleported to ground level.
If I quit the world before it was finished it takes a long time to close but after re-opening the world is there but mobs are not moving and I do not take fall damage.
This happend first in the 1.8 snapshots and does not affect my existing worlds when I open them with a pre-release.

Plausible, I've noticed world generation is significantly slower in 1,8-Pre3

A view distance of 32 and 512x512 textures is a massive workload. Does the delay reduce with lower resolutions and/or smaller textures?

Well, it seems, that it is indeed the fault of the view distance. If I change it to "2 chunks", world generation is instantaneous.
I still would consider this a bug because once the chunks are generated for the first time it works fine using the long view distance.
Regarding the second remark, I can see how you can get the impression of 512x512 textures:
[04:14:40] [Client thread/INFO]: Created: 512x512 textures-atlasBut I do not have a single resource pack installed, this message must be about something else (or maybe another bug?) as you can see in this line:
[04:14:37] [Client thread/INFO]: Reloading ResourceManager: DefaultMy mistake with the resource pack. 🙂
Seems like the spawn chunks are created (but not rendered) then, when the view distance is increased to 32 the player is dropped into the world exactly at the point the demand for chunk creation (the difference between 10 and 32 view distance) pushes rendering into the background until complete. Might be an idea to force spawn chunk rendering before considering extended view distance requirements. Alternatively, delay world appearance to the player until at least the spawn chunks are rendered then let the rest generate as they do when a player moves through the world.
