I have an ATI 6950 2Gb video card
8 gigs of memory with 6 dedicated to minecraft
Quad core 3.4 ghz AMD CPU
I used to get over 100 frames on my last video card. I noticed after the local server update the frames dropped on it. I thought it was a bug. I got my new graphics card for Guild Wars 2. I decide one day to play some minecraft. I can no longer get over 60 frames with Minecraft. I would think with these computer specs it would easily break 100 or even 200 for that matter. But now I get anywhere between 15-55 frames. This is obserd. I also tried it with optifine. Didn't do much. My Xbox runs Minecraft better than my PC now.

I would start by running Minecraft with standard amount of ram (6gb is waaayyyyyyyyyy too much unless you have 300 mods and a 512x512 texture pack). If that does not fix then make sure you are running java 7. Then try going back to before the LAN update and see if your FPS go back up. Post your results back

Please post specs for your machine. Or a DXDIag would be awesome
Giving MC that much memory is probably what's killing your performance. Drop it down to default or even less.
I run 40ish mods and a 64x texturepack and use xms 256 xmx 768. I run a 6850 and get 100 - 150 fps with out optifine. With optifine i'll get 175 - 250 depending on settings and map.
