this is a good suggestion as some people have very slow computers, my brother for instance can hardly play minecraft on the lowest settings available. turning off clouds entirely could be another option.
keep in mind that minecraft is unique from almost every other game in that it is CPU intensive not GPU intensive, which means that you can upgrade the graphics and it should play about the same. even my old computer from 2003 doesn't have a problem with the graphics, but as the map grew larger and i explored, the lag went up. which tells me that the game does some unnecessary stuff with chunks that are out of sight.
Do clouds actually effect performance that much? It is just one giant texture after all, and a flat one at that if you have your graphics on fast. If it somehow does effect the performance that much, I would suggest that players just remove the cloud texture from their files.

I'm almost 100% positive that this have been suggested before but i'll suggest it again anyways
Yes. My computer is okay, but it lags Minecraft sometimes. Not a giant lag spike, but it does lag a bit. How, did I get on this page? I clicked Page 2 for the Megathread. ._.
Static clouds.
Clouds won't move.
Partical ammounts.
high-the current ammount.
medium-2/3 the current ammount.
low-1/3 the current ammount.
none.
Turning off fog.
turns off the fog and simply cuts off the render distance, saving cpu usage. (It worked for runescape.)

yeah, I'm not sure how much slowdown is caused by clouds.
about the fog, dunno, could help but would look like a bubble around player
