Check out my thread "hacker". I beleive this explains the lagging.
The workload my packet verification program is reporting is that of a DoS attack on the forum server. The actual text it's reporting is: "A user with a 50 user workload is accessing the same resources, round trip for performance check packages was 3.15 minutes."
Which sounds an awful lot to me like a multiloader, which tries to load the same page into some 50 browsers (simulated), and can simultaneously request every page of the forum. The requested info gets sent to a computer that rejects it, causing a huge slowdown affect.
