Maybe I've just been looking at this the wrong way, but I've always thought of lag being related to latency. Though now it seems that numerous amounts of people use lag to refer to poor performance. As far as I’m concerned lag =\= performance. I’m not sure why, but I find it quite annoying when people refer to their performance problems as ‘lag.’ Maybe I’d feel better if there was a clear distinction between internet latency and local computer performance. Has usage just overwritten the meaning, or was it always used this way? I can see the use of lag in terms of the timely response to user inputs, but not general performance. Perhaps that is how we define performance now.
