1. Lag is generated by how much time your computer get information. Therefore, if you have less things running while playing, lag would be devestatingly low.
2. Connections don't really have anything to do with lag. The only lag they create is level loading (Fetching new levels from server)
For example, at home I use a cable connection and it works fine with hardly any lag at all. And when I'm on vacation like I am now, I am forced to use a 56k connection, and there still is no lag.
No, my computers are not brand new. And no, they don't have spiffy drivers in them. It depends on how much you're running at the same time as playing. (Stefan prolly only has one thing open at a time when doing stuff)

Actually, you're only partially correct there Gonmon.
Lag is caused by slow data transfer rates. Graal doesn't usually require too fast of a connection unless there's a lot of players or server NPCs in a level.
Now, machine slowdown is what causes the actual game to slow down when it can't process the information smoothly and quickly.
Jumpiness == lag
Slowness == computer
