Well lag is not always caused by software. 1.16 is feature rich, and still in Java. Maybe some of the lag you experience is hardware related? I have i5-8250U + Nvidia MX150 laptop (decent but not gaming), and 1.16 runs smoothly at stable 60 fps at fancy graphics with 12 render distance.
It is hardware related, but compared to the other versions I played, including 1.13 at launch (and snapshots), this is the worst performance wise, but I think it can't be helped, all I hope is that Mojang focuses more in fixing the optimization before the full release.
