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
also, if a bunch of connections at different speeds and ports and stuff, screws lotsa stuff up
