Eh, Java is fine for most things. It's just shit for games, especially 3d games.

It's shit for most things. It's a resource hog and it encourages bad coding since you're not required to fix memory leaks. You can just let the garbage collector deal with them.

Java is not native to the Windows code architecture. Which induces some issues in its own way. But not to mention it is poorly optimized, and on top of that Minecraft itself has been known to have a number of memory leaks.

Right click the minecraft label, then "Launch with graphical processor", then choose your graphical card,usually it helps. I have a laptop with Nvidia, the FPS increases a lot.

Two major issues ATM in 1.6.2, plus whatever FPS issues your hardware and drivers introduce. Optifine is good for those, anyway...

Latency is rough overall...they messed up networking code again. It had been fixed nicely for 1.5.x but it's having all the issues from 1.4.x again.

The changes to zombie spawning and aggro can cause the game's timing to go completely out of whack from the calculations. If you watched the Mindcrack UHC you'll see what I mean...large lag spikes, mobs rushing and warping, the sun going faster than it should, etc. Restarting may or may not help; I suspect changing to peaceful for a minute to forcibly despawn everything AND stop the game from trying to recalculate new spawns for the zombies would be effective also.

Keep it up to date for security, but there hasn't been a large performance or stability boost from a Java update since MC went to the Anvil format.

I have a weaker laptop with i3 CPU @ 2.20 GHz, 8GB RAM, Intel HD 3000 video card, and Minecraft is not lagging for me, even at the highest settings. Something in the background hogs your resources. Do virus searches, check your firewall, hunt for spywares... Then update your system, and the programs too, especially Java.

Your avatar rocks! But there can be world specific issues with MC right now, so it's not necessarily spyware.

I have the same CPU and I had problems with Minecraft. Fixed most of the lag by going into the bios and disabling hyper threading. You can always look up a guide if you don't know how to do it. I have an Alienware and I remember it involved downloading a new bios do get that feature. Hope this helps.

edit* I have an Alienware m17x r3 and I used this modified bios to get the hyper threading option.

If you are talking to me you would run the downloaded program to update your system bios. Then you would reboot your computer and hit which ever key it is to open the bios. For me it is F12 but you will have to look for yourself. Once in the bios you will want to look around for an option called hyper threading. It is probably located under CPU or power management. Once found you just need to set it to disabled or off. Then save and boot normally. All non hyper threaded applications will receive a performance boost along with longer battery life and a cooler computer.

Set the priority to high in Task manager, download the Optifine mod, download Razr Gamebooster and lower your graphics settings... this should greatly increase your fps !
