The only reason I'm not posting in Forge's own help forums is because from what I've seen, they're very hostile toward anyone saying that forge is the cause of their lag (seriously, people got banned for it.)
I USUALLY run Optifine with some low-end shaders, and even then Minecraft runs at around 40-60 fps, with a couple minor lag spikes here and there. nothing that makes it hard to play. just a little bit of block lag sometimes.
but since I started playing singleplayer more often, I've been looking into a couple of mods. Mostly Journeymap, because the vanilla maps are basically useless. obviously I need Forge for this.
install it, load it up, it crashes. I do the whole "allocate more RAM" thing, and it actually gets to the title screen this time. Everything seems great. I make a new world to test everything out, and...
i get one frame every 5 seconds. IF i'm lucky.
So I close the game (after clicking the X five times it finally gives me the "java has stopped responding" crap so i can actually shut it down) reload it, and disable the mod. I straight-up go into the folder and remove the mod completely. Load it up again.
At this point, I'm just running Forge all by itself. no other addons. nothing. just forge.
and i still get 1 frame every 5 seconds. this never improves.
Just tell me straight, is there ANYTHING that can fix this, or am i screwed and I need to suck it up and just play vanilla forever? It seems strange to me that my bad laptop runs Skyrim at 60fps with 50+ mods running at once, but the second I even try and use a mod loader, minecraft dies on me.
Try to see if forge resized how much RAM your minecraft is allowed to use. Go the edit profile and then click JVM arguments and type -Xmx4G (this will allocate 4 gigabytes of ram to minecraft) you can replace the 4 with any number as long as your computer has that amount of ram. I suggest not going over 6 because 6 is over kill and minecraft has a problem of creating trash files to fill up un used ram space. So stick with 2-4-6 GB's

I've done this already, and it doesn't change a thing.
