ANSI Lag Options

[rakasha]

I seem to have a problem with ANSI causing enough lag when there is more than one or two people fighting in the same room that I get lagged. I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to OS 10.4 I don't believe, I know it never did this under OS 9.x. So far it seems to only effect me on places that use a lot of ANSI, though admittedly I've not always had lots of people fighting at once on some of the ANSI places I've logged into. I've tried selecting ANSI default, deleted the preferences, adjusting the Output buffer size. I just created a new world to the mud that seems to cause this behavior the worst, will see if that helps. Any other ideas? Oh to add it isn't just lag, the application itself sometimes get the spinning cursor, sometimes just won't let me type immediately. I'm on a cable modem. Some possibility I guess that it may be my 4 year old computer, but nothing else seems to cause this.
