I think there may be a lot of confusion about what "lag" the petition is addressing.

Yes, there may be lag depending on a person's computer, the amount of memory it has, etc.

This is not the lag the petition addresses. The petition addresses server lag which is completely caused by Disney and the lack of their servers sometimes not being able to transfer information fast enough. This leads to stuff like chat being delayed, cannons firing at a delayed rate, and ships skipping (they suddenly freeze then appear somewhere closer to your ship, or closer to the harbor in Cannon Defense). Granted, these issues CAN be caused by slow internet connection, but that is not the case. A quick way to debug that possibility is to ask nearby players if they're having the same issues. If they are, it's server lag.
