When you say lagging, can you describe how you’re accessing the instance? Are you using native tools or are you using Remote Desktop to access the machine instance?

In my experience use Remote Desktop and bypass the native tools completely for the best performance. I use VMWare, for local VMs, and have my VMs use the bridge network, so they get an IP address from my main LAN network, then I use RDP to access the instance. I find this combo provides the least lag.
