Ok, so I am playing minecraft at about 7-13 FPS normally. 15-20 if I'm lucky. I have done most of the things the websites say such as set minecraft to a high priority, update your java, make your render distance tiny, max FPS, etc. I've done all those, and I'm still not getting much more FPS. Can anyone help me?
P.S. I am using a Lenovo z480 computer that I got for Christmas with Windows 8.
I am. I play with magic launcher. I have installed modloader, forge, single player commands, toomanyitems, more bows mod, diamond meter mod, rei's minimap, and optifine.
Not sure if I have to use the links for reference or not, but just in case....
Rei's Minimap gives you significant lag. When I installed it, I thought it was Forge causing the problems but it isn't. If you wan't less lag but still wan't Rei's Minimap, go to the options by pressing M play around with the settings but what's going to help you is a setting called update time or render time (something like that). Set it to the lowest setting and it should fix your lag problem.
If you really wan't better performance altogether, uninstall it by going to: .minecraft - mods and delete the Rei Minimap.rar file
It took me a while to realize that Rei's Minimap was the cause of my performance problems. I hope this helped.
Rei's doesn't cause lag for me but I understand that it can cause lag due to running separate rendering processes over and above what Minecraft does. I can only suggest that you get more ram seeing as you have tried all of the obvious solutions already.
Just a side note, which optifine do you use? Ultra, default, etc? Because depending on your hardware setup there are versions that are better for multiple threading etc.

I use ultra. I will try disabling rei's minimap. thanks for your support! I will tell you when it's fixed!
Removing the minimap gave me about 2-4 more FPS which is obviously not much....I have noticed that when I get near my house I start to have more lag...I've been thinking it might be because i have my large redstone powered farm, redstone powered storage vault, and redstone powered melon and pumpkin farm...does redstone ever cause lag?

If you have OptiFine then you can turn off the particles for powered redstone in the video settings.
Another thing I can tell you is to force update or delete the .minecraft folder but back up all your important stuff, texture packs/ saves. Deleting the .minecraft folder and running Minecraft is the most effective way for me when I start with a vanilla Minecraft. When I started from a fresh Minecraft, it completely got rid of the same problem you are having. I had 10- 15 FPS and once I started with a new vanilla Minecraft, I was getting 25- 40 FPS. Try with a new Install but save your worlds. It might be recommended that once you start over, install OptiFine.
Redstone does cause lag yes, especially if there are a lot of updates involved. As mentioned above, disabling the particles will help but only a little. I would recommend relying less on redstone.
Strangely enough, my brother and I were working on a project together over lan, and the game would lag out only on one specific chunk. I know this because it happened only bridge that crosses the water our house was built over. THe game would hang for a good couple of seconds and be completely fine after that. I could never figure out the cause of this so we abandoned the project our of frustration.
With optifine installed go to Video Settings and you will see an ajustable option called prefomance set it too 25fps this will lock your frames at about 25. If for any reason your game is constantly dropping below 25fps try setting at 20. much lower will seem unatural. If you are looking too improve your computor I would sugjest increasing your RAM. I wouldn't suggest running Rei's Minimap it creates substantial lag due to the fact that it registers chunks for itself. So if you're frames won't lock with the Preformance setting try not running Rei's Minimap.

This does not work for everyone but for my system it helped quite a bit with more steady FPS. (don't forget to backup .minecraft before you try this, as it may not work or may cause unstability or black screen or something)
Do you only get FPS drops on online servers? or do you get bad FPS in single player mode?
If you are on a server many people create "lag machines" and this will drastically reduce performance for the server. If you are on online server contact admin to see if there are any of those types of machines. They can be fairly hard to find or to detect as many times are made underground or out of sight.
Problems like this I would backup minecraft and run it vanilla...if you still have FPS problems chances are its your hardware. Install each mod one at a time and after each install run the game and play it for a bit. If you see no decrease in performance, install the next mod and then test it again and do this until you find which mod (if any) is the problem.

NO almost never increase Ram.It just increases lag due to the fact that MC is sucking in ram will make your system slower
Yes. Redstone can be laggy.

I get lag only in single player
