It seems that most of the obfuscation plugins rely on not sending the data (chunk) to the client until a block is broken. This seems very likely to cause quite a bit more chunks to be loaded and sent out than would otherwise. Would it not improve performance if the client had a server enforced option to simply not render the data in a similar fashion as these plugins?

In other words, why not have the client do the obfuscation since it is doing the rendering anyway?

This all assumes that the client verification that occurs at login can confirm an unmodded client.
