Yes we saw the same thing. I thought it was a problem with throughput but I
experienced the same trouble we went back to 3.8b13 and that fixed it.

C-U...

Subject: (PM) Latency and Lag with 3.8b15

|I'm seeing a couple of issues creeping up with 3.8b15 that I'm hoping are
|addressable. Since the upgrade from 3.7.2c3 to 3.8b15 I've been getting
|some complaints from people who play online games about lag in their game
|playing. At first I thought it was most likely a Latency issue, but
|response times looked the same with 3.8b15 as with 3.7.2c3. It turns out
|that there is a lag that several of my customers are seeing with their
|dial-in connections.
|
|I have reproduced the problem with a couple of different 33.6 modems. One
|system, which was not showing the lag on 3.7.2c3 started showing extreme
|lag in web response and when simply scrolling through a text file on our
|UNIX server. I switched back to 3.7.2c3 and the problem went away. The
|modem in use in that situation was a Practical Peripherals 33.6 external.
|I tried changing compression, init strings, buffers, etc.. with no effect
|on the lag.
|
|We're not seeing this in all modems, or in a particular chipset; in fact
|the USR V.90 stuff works pretty slick with the new Lucent code.
|Motorola 33.6 and 56k modems don't seem to be affected, etc. I don't have
|enough info to produce a common thread yet but will still plug away at it.
|
|Thanks...
