There are different types of lag (I have written some little documentation about that in the scripting forum some months ago):
- network lag - depends mainly on your connection to the server, high bandwidth doesn't always mean low pings. Also if you have many players on the same area or scripts that send a lot of data it can increase the network lag.
- client engine lag - depends mainly on the drivers for graphics and sounds, you should check if you have the latest drivers for that; Graal might sometimes not look very high-end, but everything is dynamic and customizable, which means there are lot of different graphics and sounds and scripts, while other engines are optimized for a fixed "small" set of graphics. In Graal you have more than 1000 different body-gfx, more than 5000 different head-gfx. The light effects also require 3D card functionality even if it might look like a 2D effect.

In your case it looks like network lag. You have that problem on all servers or only a few ones ?
