Why Modded Minecraft Uses So Much Memory?

[Interplay]

Hello!!

 

I'm here today because I want to know what the heavens is going on here. Take a look at these images:

Don't worry about that pink and black blocks back there. That is from Tinkers.

Look at the memory usage at the top right corner... But, ok... What is going on is:

I just got into the curseforge.net and downloaded any mods that I found cool and nice.

Put them together and run the game. During the loading, its everything ok. Everything runs smoothly...But, when the mods finnish loading, the main menu screen, takes about 5 minutes to appear. And after that point that takes about 5 minutes, Everything starts to run smoothly again... When I click to create a new world, this process also takes about 5 minutes. And only then I am inside the game. BUT.... Every 10~20 seconds, my game freezes and come back to run smoothly again, but only for about 10~20 seconds... And this stays like this forever...

I mean: Runs smoothly for like 10~20 seconds, freezes for about 10 seconds, runs smoothly for like 10~20 seconds, then freeezes again, runs smoothly again, freezes again, and so on...

Well... What I have tried:

 

• I increased the amount of memory to Minecraft, as you can see in the screenshot.
• I downloaded the latest versions of all the mods that I'm using. (latest until the moment of this post).
• I downloaded the latest version of my Graphics Card Driver.
• I already have the latest java version (1.8.0_151). Well... At least the newest version that comes automaticly when you download from the main page of downloads in Java.com.
• I also tried with the lowest video configs in Minecraft.

 

But still...

 

I have this setup:

QuadCore Intel Core i5-4460, 3400 MHz

Memory Kingston HyperX [x2] 8130 MB (DDR3-1600 DDR3 SDRAM)

Graphics Card AMD Radeon R7 200 Series (2 GB)

 

And I have these Mods:

If anyone could help me, I will be glad.

I am not saying that this is Forge fault.

I just want to know how can I fix this kind of things.

Everyone knows that Minecraft alone don't need too much memory. (And running Minecraft with forge is the same as Minecraft alone [in terms of memory usage]). So, your answer is not a valid.

 

Well... It looks like that, when I added Foamfix, it really fixed it! This mod is awesome. And what I think is more funny is the description of the mod:

"Questionable 'performance improvements' that are not in Forge for probably very good reasons."

LOL... But even so... I mean: Why would someone add things that will decrease performance? (Intentionally?)
