I'm going to say right now-I'm no Minecraft expert, so be patient please. I have a Windows Vista with 4G of RAM, and my Minecraft lags sooo much. I do have OptiFine installed and it is up to date with Minecraft 1.8.9. The thing that helped reduce the lag the most was changing the JVM Arguments on the Minecraft Launcher from 1G to 3G. Before I did this, I was getting 10 to 20 FPS. Afterwards though, I was getting 100 FPS. I went on to multiplayer, and singleplayer worlds to test the FPS. After I tested the FPS, I left to go somewhere. When I came back and started playing Minecraft, the FPS had dropped to 40s and 50s. I looked back at the JVM Arguments to see if it had gone back to 1, but it had stayed at 3. I'm feeling very stuck and puzzled right now. Is it just time for a new computer, or is there something I can do to fix this? Please help!
I sometimes have programs running. Now that I think about it, when I went back on and the FPS dropped again, I was on Skype with my friends. I will try right now with no other programs running.
I forgot to mention one thing. when I open Minecraft, in Task Manager I set Minecraft's process priority to High. When I opened Minecraft with nothing else open, no luck. Same FPS-23,11,5,20...

Hmm...I'm not sure beyond this point. BUT if you go to this webchat service for Minecraft you will be able to find people who can help you better than I can:

Did you have other programs running on your computer? Especially of they are using the internet, they could greatly affect gameplay

What are your system specs?
Thanks!
Or I could try to help..... Vista uses a lot of memory by itself.
