A while ago I stopped playing mine craft for about a month, and came back when the snapshots were released. Before I stopped playing I could get upwards of 100 FPS playing Minecraft, and now I only get between 20-50. This is a major performance cut and it only improves if I change my video setting to the minimum, which I never had to do before. My computer has 32 GB of RAM and should be able to handle Minecraft. I have tried allocating more RAM with no success. Any suggestions? (I have a Mac btw)
RAM doesn't dictate how well Minecraft will run, and assigning too much RAM will actually result in worse performance.
If you've not got a powerful graphics card, then high FPS can't be expected. You can, however, try to improve performance by ensuring VSync is off, FPS is set to unlimited, mipmapping, particles, bobbing, etc. are off, and graphics are on fast.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB graphics card. I do not have a lot of computer experience but i think that can handle it. And i did adjust my graphics settings but only really low settings (Graphics fast , smooth lighting off, ridiculously small render distance, and mipmapping off) gave me the performance i used to have. I used to be able to play with all on their highest possible settings and still get above 60 fps
Have you got millions of programs running in the background (Endemic to Macs)? If a program you aren't using has that blue dot beneath it, right-click (Or control-click) on it and click "Quit". Also, if there's an app icon in the taskbar you don't need, quit it.
I have found that java 7 can butcher minecraft fps on some computers. I used to get 150+ with my 560 but i was getting about 40. To fix the issue (what i did) you need to uninstall java 7 JRE and JDK. Then download the most recent java 6 version (U34). Then you need to change the performance option in minecraft to "Max Performance" then turn off vsync.
And There you go! Enjoy high fps in minecraft.

This may jump the FPS but Java 6 hasn't been updated since Feburary last year (2013) so you're missing out on about a year of security updates. That's the risk.
