This is related to the "more lag since 2.2" issue, but I figured I should open a new thread about this:
Since 2.2 we have a new "lags" sign. This fluffy red thingy which appears way too often. The problem is that it tells other players your position. It is like walking around with a giant blue light integrated in your stetson ...
Probably we can make that less flashy ...
Of course it would be neat to solve the general lagging problem rather than tinkering with the durned texture
