In the newer versions of Minecraft, I have noticed a major drop in FPS. This drop in frames worries me. On all versions of Minecraft before the 1.8 snapshots, I have 80 FPS almost all of the time. As soon as I upgrade to any of the 1.8 snapshots, using the same exact video settings, I can barely ever pull 40 FPS. I was wondering if anyone could confirm that this is, indeed, a bug and that waiting until the 1.8 release will fix the problem. If this isn't a bug, is there anything I can do to fix this problem I am having? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FPS in 1.7.2:
FPS in 14w03b Snapshot with exact same settings: (Note: It is the same result with all 1.8 snapshots)
Well, it doesn't really matter, as anything over 20 is extremely playable. Why you got a drop is odd. Maybe your computer can't handle multiple threads for different worlds?
I seriously doubt it has anything to do with my computer since I can play 1.7.2 with 80 FPS and immediately switch to a new snapshot and get 27 FPS, then back again. It makes no sense.

A computer that doesn't understand multithreading? In this day and age? And besides, running each world on its own thread will be added later, according to Dinnerbone, and that would hardly be relevant if you are only playing on a single world at a time.
The two pictures are a spot the difference puzzle. What do you see in the background? It's obvious that more chunks are being loaded in the picture of the snapshot than the picture of 1.7.2. The render distance setting might be different invalidating the two tests, or something in the snapshot changed with how many chunks are loaded based on the render distance setting.
All my settings were the same for both tests; something in the snapshot must have changed how much of the world is rendered.
I fixed it. Just type %appdata% in the windows search bar go to .minecraft backup your saves and delete your .minecraft open minecraft.exe load up 1.8 and drag your saves back in the saves folder

But going from 81 to 27 is absurd,it must be a bug.

I sure hope so
a. You need to get a new computer
b. Snapshots a test versions of final updates. That means that their could be a bug that makes the fps drop.
Comic Sans is the best
