I can confirm this - same thing happens to me; I have a fairly old computer though - so I was wondering if the age of my PC and it's various components was endemic of the problem? I usually get very bad FPS playing Minecraft = 20-30 FPS at best - but since updating to 1.7.4 I now have terrible "lag spikes" ALL the time - my FPS constantly dropping to 0 FPS. Even doing something simple as moving from point A to point B is a chore. As for punching a tree? Forget it - it's now impossible. Completely impossible for me to play Minecraft now :/
Firstly - i work 10 hours a day - I simply don't have time to read through all the posts Secondly - I figured giving a mire detailed description of my problem would help resolve it.
