The limit technique squishes all the external points to your boundaries which creates a denser field to render. This acts in a similar way to turning the splat size up really high and can be super slow or crash a project. Using a delete on the point attributes can give a bounding box effect where you define the minimum and maximum boundaries of what points you let through. This removes everything outside the boundaries. If you're looking for a version that has some of the artefacts of the outside areas you could run a splat where you thin out the cloud using a delete so there's less overall data - or a combination of the two techniques. I mention the delete method used around 9.10 in the video. I also just updated the Component files so they include the point boundary delete method.

Hey Dan, thanks for cleaning up the example POP splat file a bit. I'm adding in some of my own controls, similar to yours but I wanted to control them a bit differently. I'm trying to add in the limiting feature thats very easy to do with TOPs - to create like a bounding box of the points that don't go beyond a certain value (creates the "box" effect) but the Limit POP totally crushes my performance. Am I doing something wrong? Have you gotten Limit with POPs and splats to work?
