Lag cycles are programmed in to keep all the different parts
(different video cards, systems, net speeds) in sync. I remember
when you'd notice a difference between games that were either
online or offline. But with so many games multiplayer, I think
it's been necessary for more and more built-in lag, to
compensate for internet lag. I'd love to be able to have a
setting to turn them off. Then again, I don't play games that
much, but when I do, I like seeing how they could be improved
