Would also be worth mentioning that water in quarries can cause lag. A new underground quarry scraped off the bottom of a river, resulting in a massive drop in FPS. I had to reduce all my graphic settings and view distance, and do a slow painful task of repairing the river bed. Once I blocked off all the flowing water, fps jumped back up again.

I always make a point of pumping out any water that may be left in empty quarries. A few water source blocks don't seem to hurt, but a lot, such as a river/ocean, can hurt your fps.
