Currently in 1.6.2. Charging an enchanted bow was not an issue for me in 1.5.2, although I did have optifine installed. I'm slightly confused because of reports that people installed optifine as an attempt to fix this, but optifine did not help the matter in their cases. Right now in 1.6.2, I do not have optifine currently installed (1.6.2 version not available yet).
Due to much evidence from others, I am assuming that once a new version of optifine is released and I install it, it will not fix the lag I get from charging an enchanted bow.
In a world I will run at a steady 30 fps, but once I pull back my enchanted bow, I drop to an fps ranging anywhere from 8-14. This is a major problem, and in my case, literally makes using an un-enchanted bow more effective than a "super bow" (i.e. Power 5, Flame 2, Punch 2, etc.) or any other enchanted bow for that matter. Obviously, the people who experience this lag from enchanted bows are at a huge disadvantage to the other players who can use very powerful bows without lag, which allows them to maintain accuracy and land shots on enemies. Accuracy with a bow is extremely difficult and sporadic when Minecraft runs below 15 fps.

How do you install that file? I droped it in my jar file like he said on the thread, but its not taking effect and removing the glint.
