Before I start off with my troubles (which is really long, so leave now if you hate reading), I want to let you guys know I've never joined a forum before, let alone post in one. That's because I usually find the solutions to my troubles with a quick Google search. Of course, I'm not implying that's the only thing forums are good for. There's also the socialising thing, but I never really got round to that.
Anyway, the topic header is quite self-explanatory - I'm getting ZERO FPS! It's not even lag, it's bloody frozen. Like sitting next to your grandpa while he's showing you an old photo album - one pic per minute. And it's driving me nuts. To the point that I'm not able to eat anymore or find joy in little things that used to make me happy (butterflies, for example; which reminds me, when will butterflies be introduced? Or are they already there?). Anyway, I've no idea how this problem started. Although it began on a day when I made a host of changes to my minecraft, the problem is I can't remember if I made the changes before this started or after. I've done everything the well-meaning men and women on YouTube and forums (including this one) told me (technically, others) to do. But no luck.
I've tried using optifine and reduced the graphics to a bare minimum, but it made no difference. I updated Java 64-bit and all my processors and graphic card are up to date, but it made no difference. I used a simplistic 16x16 texture pack, but it made no difference. You get the idea, nothing worked. I may have missed the ultimate solution to this problem but frankly, if it was that ultimate, it should be on page 1 of Google.
Fearing that it might be because of the new 1.7.10 update, I decided to play on 1.7.9. I set the priority for Minecraft to high in the task manager. I closed all background programs and processes and have made no other significant changes to my pc or the game or internet, if that matters. But I don't think it does cause I play single player on survival. Alas, none of that worked.
For those who'll inevitably ask me details of my computer's specs to sound intelligent (just kidding, of course you are), here you go:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600)
System Manufacturer: eMachines
System Model: EL1850
Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5500 @ 2.80GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 2048 MB RAM
Page file: 1953 MB used, 2073 MB available
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Graphic Card: Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset
Approx. Total Memory: 814 MB
Current Display Mode: 1440 x 900 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Monitor: Generic PnP Moniter
Wallpaper: Alexis Texas (Although I don't think that makes a difference, does it?)
Just to be thorough, I think I should let you know that I had gone on a long adventure far away from my base to look for lava, before dying and returning to my spawn point. Then I found lava nearby and used that and everything was still OK, so again I don't think that's the prob. Before you tell me specs aren't good enough, keep in mind that I've been playing the game for 2 months at around about 10-15 FPS which may not be a lot, but more than enough for me. Especially considering that I used to download stuff in the background all the time. Please help me get back to that frame speed.
It'd mean a lot if my first foray into forums worked out. So please help me.
P.S. Sorry if I sounded cocky, but I just wanted to adopt a forum persona that's different from the self-deprecating, sad sack of a ******* that I am in real life. Cheers.
And great question. So I loaded up a new world on creative mode, and everything was back to the 10-15 fps that I'd grown accustomed to. I flew around (I just learned today that you can actually fly in creative mode! I thought people used some mods) for 5 minutes to be absolutely sure, but yeah it was fine. Then I went back to my regular world (the one which has problems) and there was slight improvement up to 2-3 FPS, but still not enough, and the place around me still didn't load fully, including a portion of my farm which normally would. I created another survival world, roamed around, and that was fine too. So the problem is clearly with one world. Please don't tell me I'd have to delete it.
If your world got corrupted you can try to repair it with MCEdit. Open the offending world in MCEdit, press 'ctrl-i' and select 'Repair regions' in the dialogue which pops up. Once this has completed, save your world and exit MCEdit.
To download MCEdit, go to http://www.mcedit.net/ and choose the version appropriate for your OS.

I did manage to solve the framerate issue by simply copying the level.dat file from a new survivor world to my old one. But then I ran into a whole different kind of issue - not being able to open my chest. I would click multiple times, then go somewhere else and suddenly the chest inventory would open out of nowhere. Also, there was a delay when I tried to sleep, and when I finally did, I couldn't wake up.
So I just deleted the whole world and restored a very old backup file I had. Anyway, thanks for helping out.

Thanks, I'll let you know if it works.
