MC-3130Lag Spikes on computers with good specs.
I wanted to post a possible solution to this bug and wanted the developers to see this. When Minecraft is lagging on a good computer (or not) it may be because of java. Control Panel->search for java->go to java tab in popup->view->there will probably be more than one line of code that i assume causes Minecraft to use two different versions of java? When all Java installs are uninstalled and java 6_37 is installed only, Minecraft Runs great. Unknown if it runs well on version 7. When people see a new java update they download and install without uninstalling their previous java version, therefore causing this Minecraft Problem. Maybe Minecraft can be coded to only use the latest java version installed? I hope this information reaches the developers and i hope they make this info more public. Good Luck!

It seems snapshot 13w04a has a performance issue with HD texturepacks when Minecraft 1.4 didn't have any on same computer (but Minecraft 1.4 had more glitches and less features than 13w04a of course).
What happens is (in order):
- Smooth framerate during ~30 seconds
- Horribly laggy framerate during ~20 seconds (impossible to play)
- Smooth framerate during ~30 seconds
- etc...
The problem happens with a 128x up-to-date texturepack (optimized for 13w04a). However, the problem also happens with default texturepack but is less noticeable (it's just like a lag spikes).
The game doesn't crash so there is no crash-report.
Note:
- My LWJGL library is up-to-date.
- My computer (a dual-core one) has a good hardware and is able to run MassEffect3 without any problem.
- The problem is less noticeable (or shorter) when using a lower resolution of texturepack
- When the problem happens ingame, it also still happens in the main menu before stopping
- During the problem, one core is at 100% but the other is iddle.

Generally speaking, it is not a requirement to uninstall previous versions of java before installing new ones, as an application can only run one version at a time (this should be the newest one installed). One cannot code into a java application the version it should run. If you want to try to reduce lag spikes, it is highly recommended that you update your java to the latest version. You can also try the optifine mod.
I've updated my java to the latest possible, tried optifine, updated lwjgl and still my ticket got marked as invalid! The lag is intensifying with each update and there is nothing I can do about it except put up with it. Now so far almost every ticket about lag was ignored or marked invalid. You just have to experience it yourself to know what we all mean.
What are your computer specs (RAM / free memory (storage) / RAM you let minecraft use (other details))
tips to remove lag:
1. No texture pack
2. View bobbing - off
3. Particles - minimal
4. Graphics - fast (i think)
