One day someone is going to pinpoint it; but there is rarely any discussion about it. Usually you'll just see people blaming SE without listing the ISP they use, the graphics card they use, the computer stats they use, etc.

It might be SE's fault. I'm not saying it isn't. It's just difficult to decipher the problem when someone from Australia, London, Florida, wherever complains about the lag and then someone else from the same area has absolutely no problem and has cleared coil.
SE does have problems but the majority of the lag I see people experiencing is not from them. I live in LA Cali and I have vertically zero lag(very rarely a lag spike, similar to FF11 R0, when everything freezes and then instantly catches up). Currently live in a apartment building and run Att DSL internet. Having said this, I know from a Reddit post that A LOT of people all over the US that have Time Warner cable internet have very bad lag, especially in CA. Nothing SE can do about this kind of lag.
