The original meaning of lag in computing is the delay of packet arrival between client and host, as ping means the delay of "there and back" which is usually 2x lag. I still think that this meaning of the word "lag" was used before anything else as a computing term. Like from the days of IPX/SPX.
The point is what it was used for before and how it became to be a popular term for something else. Through misunderstanding. It irratates some people, like JustLuke. Not me. I just find it amusing.
