Hello i have the same problem but solution too what you need is a block that doesnt burn and strong enough tnt cant explode it like obsidian so when you get about 2 stacks of obsidian in the nether build a small house and portal in it so pigzombies/ghasts cant kill you after waiting 2 min in the small house you made lag will 80% gone so you can eisely go in nether and mine your stuff. P.S. when there are 2 or more ppl in nether i still lagg.
I'm starting to experience this as well, this never happened before 1.2.3 but now it's like my computer can't take it (and I have a near high-end computer)
Well good to know it's not just us. I have a very good computer and have never lagged in MC, anywhere, even when I used a LOT of mods and a realistic 512 texture pack. My son and went to explore the nether in our new server last night ... and we died more in an hour than I have the entire time I've played. Even when standing in a hall inside a fortress there were serious issues. Turned everything off/down, only helped the very slightest bit. As of now, the nether is almost impossible for us to play. At first I thought it might be the server. It wasn't.
To make the Nether *somewhat* playable in 1.2 I reduce/turn off just about everything in OptiFine - including fire, explosion and lava animation (which looks super weird and in addition to the lag makes for further tension), smooth lighting OFF etc. etc. Reducing render distance is hardly ideal (especially when searching for a fortress), but at the very least OptiFine allows tweaking of specific elements to help a teeny bit.
Also, try and stay away from open areas in general (e.g. try and find blaze spawners that are encased rather than out in the open, and tunneling reduces the chance of finding a fortress as opposed to open roaming, but sometimes you strike it lucky, as I did - after 2.5 stone pickaxes' worth yesterday ; ] ).
This is embarrassing, and this game made over 3 million dollars? This needs to be fixed its unacceptable, how have they not hired competent developers yet?

Not a solution. Please read the thread before posting - These people have issues once they move out of their chunk (presumably the same size as your suggested small house if not smaller). Also, cobblestone will work just fine, as ghast explosions are weaker than tnt.

Are you serious right now? Read the terms and agreements of Minecraft.net. When you buy this game you are agreeing that you are purchasing an UNFINISHED program that WILL have bugs and glitches. Come on buddy, no need to bash on the developers. It will get fixed, jst have patience.
this happens to me on my server too, you take 10 or so steps and you're doing fine, then suddenly you can barely move, then when you can play again it turns out while you were lagging you walked into fire or something and you died

Get off the internet. Have some respect for the people that made the game. If you think it's embarrassing, then don't play it. The reason it even exists is mojang.
Been having the same problem, horrible lag, and freezing in the Nether, also noticed that I'm having problems shooting at Ghasts that are located in different chunks after the chunk loads, So, I think the issue isn't just the Lighting, I think the chunks themselves aren't loading correctly.
I'm also having this problem, extreme lag in the Nether making it almost unplayable. I have turned everything to fastest setting using Optifine, which has almost no effect.
Just a thought, I think that because traveling 1 block in the nether makes you walk 8 blocks in the overworld, the more of the nether you explore, the more of the overworld you're technically exploring, and the more chunks you explore, the slower, so I'm sure that lag spik is going to new chunks.
My computer does the same thing. However I have learned that if you avoid ghast fireballs it won't lag so badly. Just try turnning difficulty to peaceful every once and a while and it won't Lag so badly!
How this helped
I am playing a vanilla, unmodded PC world and suddenly it started lagging, little warning. The Nether is now a freeze zone and completely unusable. At one portal, about a thousand pigmen seem to have appeared. Multiple PC's get the same problem so even when I am in Overworld and open un-lagged to LAN, the Nether freezes the game. Call it lag but I can move 1-2 jumpy blocks every 20 secs! It happened too suddenly to be related to opening up new chunks. All my world-building wasted. I'm not too interested in starting over just to have Minecraft crap out again. Too many wasted hours - I mean wasted wasted, not intentionally wasted. So they can fix it or I'm outta here. Really, really bad.

It constantly need to check how the lava lights up the surrounding blocks, Same with Fire.

Just a guess.
