Hi, everyone! I just bought Minecraft two days ago, and I've been enjoying it tremendously. There seems to be a problem now, however.
When I start up the game, it runs fine. After some amount of time (say about 30 minutes), it suddenly begins to lag so much that it's not playable. Only restarting the game client seems to resolve this, and then it runs fine for another while.
I've tried hitting the "Force Update" button under "Options" in the launcher, but that didn't solve the problem.
My Java version is 7, Update 11: the newest according to their website, and it "verifies" online. I'm on hardware which should be able to handle the load, and indeed it can until something goes awry. The My system specs are:
nVidia Geforce GTX 560Ti
Intel Core i7 2600K
... and so forth. Please ask if this is relevant.

Does anyone know what might be wrong?
