That would be more likely due to 1.8 series being really bad. My computer could play 1.7 series perfectly without a hitch, with 1.8 I get bad lags, I cannot even run properly, the client would micro-freeze every second. I thought it was because of LiteLoader + WECUI, but the vanilla client behaves in the same way.

No, I haven't tried 1.9-snapshots yet. I'm using 1.8.8 for normal gameplay and 1.8.1 + LiteLoader + WECUI for Cuberite-related work.

I have an old Pentium 4 with a Quadro FX 3500 card. Always get micro-stutters with 1.8.x, but not on any of my newer machines. Could be a driver issue. :/

I'm afraid not. Nothing for the 1.9 Minecraft version is implemented yet.

Well, this comes as a bit of a surprise, I didn't expect them to have the version ready so early, I was expecting a few more snapshots.
To be honest, I have no idea about how to support the new functionality properly - how to address the fact that the new version has two-hand mode, how to take in that the UI has different number of slots etc. We haven't sorted that out for the previous protocols either and now the decisions are even bigger.
