Slowing down Minecraft

[Darktmn]

I'm sure i'm just having an idiot moment when it comes to this because i'm new to technic and all that but when i play hexxit after a few min my minecraft will slow down to the point that it can't be played i'v already tried deleting some mods

have you checked your RAM usage at those points? I've also had RAM build up to the point of ridiculous lag. It's not completely consistent, but generally happens within a half hour of playing -- starts out with about 2GB used and creeps up to 6GB, at which point my computer can't cope with it. Not a solution, but just looking for someone to confirm what seems to be happening to me.

I'm hopeful that they're working on correcting whatever is going on in the next release.

I have minecraft use around 6GB of RAM

but it seems like hexxit will only let me use 1GB

[Darktmn]

can't find a way to change it

Oh, then I think you have a different issue from me. If you can't get over 1GB it means you have 32-bit Java installed. If you have a 64-bit system, you should upgrade. That could already solve your problem.

Of course, if you're playing on a Mac that will lead to some other issues, but... maybe you're on a PC?

I had the 1gb problem today, it turns out when I upgraded my browser to 64 bit I didn't realise that I then had two browsers to choose from, kept using the 32 bit one and java only downloaded a 32 bit version, so make sure that your browser is 64 bit before you download java, then the launcher give you the choice of ram!

I too was having problems with lag recently while at the same time allocating 15gb or ram, turns out, so I was told, minecraft explodes with too much ram, don't think that was meant literally, but the more you allow, the more it uses and still doesn't disuade it from lag! Beside speeding up my pc I found going into creative mode and removing many many trees with a diamond axe helped a lot, give it a try!
