I have been a fan for years and could never understand why so much lag. There is nothing to the game. Certainly not the graphics, and yet even in vanilla I am inundated with lag. I play on an hp 15 notebook pc. It doesn’t fit the game specs at all. In fact, it doesn’t fit any game specs. It has 4gbs of Ram. Runs of the Integrated Intel HR Graphics adapter. I have been for ever searching for the source of this lag for years and would not take that it was because of specs, yet I probably could have and would have been right minded by many if I had. But I didn’t and what I found was astonishing. I ran a little program inside of Windows 10 os called “perfmon.exe /res”. You can run it too from the Windows Key+R. It is a resource monitor. It gave me the craziest results for Java.exe when I ran the game. Now logically if it was Java running up the CPU process during the lag, there would be no way of telling how to eliminate the culprit. I found though that when the lag hit, the cpu usage dropped. I was expecting to find the opposite. So I looked closer and I noticed that the only other thing was that the network was spiking, so I “checked” java.exe in the resource monitor and looked under the network tab. Oh my! What I found shocked me. There was a listing for, none other than [**www.steepto.com**](http://www.steepto.com/) and that took me to Google. Searching out “[**www.steepto.com”**](http://www.steepto.com%22/) gives this as an answer for the site “You can monetize traffic from your website and earn money not only from banners and context ads.” I was now like “Why The Face!” What is an ad collection site doing running in java? Not only that, I asked myself how did it get in there. I asked the final question that still demands answers. Doesn’t Minecraft force you to download the code from their server every time? There is no explanation other than it comes with that download. So what did I do next? I went out to OpenDNS and started a free account and added [**www.steepto.com**](http://www.steepto.com/) to the block list, and guess what? Nearly 90% of my LAG IS NO MORE. I still get lag, but it only last for less than a minute where before it was more like 5-10 minutes worth. Can anyone else out there confirm this? I am beside myself with this.
