Looking for any advice or tips on what might be a cause/trigger for some rather noticeable lag in MC 1.6.4, single-player game (no servers or anything), and I am at the top of a tower that I built, and I create a condition whereby water will travel straight down a 1x1 block "tube". When this happens, while the water is updating itself as it moves down the tube, the game's FPS drops off considerably and actually appears to skip rendering frames (F3 suggests it gets as low as 30-40fps). Once the water hits the bottom of the tube and no longer updates, the game goes back to normal speed/FPS.
I do have the graphics settings at their max, but I have a beefy system, too, and it should be more than capable of handling Minecraft. I don't recall this happening in earlier versions of MC, but I did take about a 1-year break from playing, so I don't know if this is a new thing or something that is already well known in the MC community.
I have also triggered it by having water move down a spiraling staircase, and when complex redstone mechanisms are activated. So the cause seems to be related to updating the states of water and redstone blocks.
That's not exactly something I think I can capture in a screenshot, showing the lag. A video, possibly, but I am not setup to do video capture of Minecraft at the moment (never actually tried it, TBH).
