Your graphics card sucks and is probably contributing to your lag. I'm guessing this "Brand new not-cheap computer" is some sort of mini laptop.

That video card is sufficient for running Blockland and plenty of other games, if you're lagging with lots of bricks, try turning down your draw distance / resolution.

No the laptop is actually huge. The screen is about the size of my desktop screen. I got it running a little smoother by uninstalling McAfee Antivirus, but I still think it should run faster.

Update drivers.
Disable any processes you don't need.

Here are some tips.
1. Run Blockland in a window
2. Set the resolution to something like 800x600
3. You should still have an antivirus. MSE is a free, lightweight and effective antivirus you could try as an alternative to McAfee.
4. You can use some programs such as Ccleaner to disable startup processes. (Note: Be careful about not disabling processes you do want, such as the hotkey manager, your antivirus, and the sound/video controller(s))
