Today Minecraft is lagging on me. The blocks reappear, the monsters lag, they're at one spot and then all of the sudden they are right next to me. Chat messages are lagging, come in late. Open chests, it takes a few seconds for it to open.

I have the latest Minecraft 1.2.4.
Any idea what I  can do? I have scanned for virus/trojan, tested the bandwidth. Also lowered the game graphics, rendered distance to tiny, disabled fog/clouds. 
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Natalie

I did disable programs that wasn't needed. I'll try killing more to see if that helps. Thank you for the suggestions.

hehe

if you're playing on a server then it's the server lag, or you're half way across the world from the host.

if it's your computer on singleplayer, then you need a faster cpu :P

I usually lag if I'm downloading something but I will lag even more if I'm uploading something so check background programs.
