For some reason, Minecraft runs very slow. The frame rate is terrible. It takes at least five minutes for me to walk 50 blocks. My computer should be able to run Minecraft, after all, it can run a modded Skyrim without any problems. Skyrim is much more demanding so I don't understand why my computer does this.
I don't have any mods added to Minecraft (just a 32 x 32 resolution texture pack, if that counts), and I have changed all of the video settings to the lowest possible. My computer sounds like an airplane struggling to lift off when I start playing. Does anyone here have any suggestions as to what I could do?
PC Specs:
- Windows 7 Premium
- 6 GB of RAM
- AMD Athlon II X4 645 Processor 3.10 GHz
EDIT: After allocating more RAM to the game, it lags a lot less. However, my computer still sounds like an airplane.
EDIT: Getting rid of my texture pack doesn't help.

So, I'm gonna go ahead and say that this is the problem. I'm assuming you mean the textures in the pack are 64x64 resolution. Whereas the vanilla textures are 16x16 resolution.
The way to verify whether this is a problem would be to remove the texture pack and play the game.
