Every time more than one guild are attacking a sector at the same time, my game slows down. It's very frustrating because it makes it impossible to win a race; I was nearly 50 fights ahead on a sector where the opposition only had three fights in from several hours earlier, and then I suddenly started getting a spinning cursor for several seconds every time I tried to do an auto-battle, and realised it was because the server had just reset and the other side had started attacking again. We were far enough ahead that I thought we still had a chance even if there were several of them, but with the newly added delay on every attack and 100 fights to go, they overtook pretty quickly.
But it wasn't just this time - it keeps happening, and it's always once we're in a race. It's as if the app can't respond fast enough to multiple simultaneous attacks taking place.

It was just that particular battle - and the opposition weren't going all that fast, which is why I think it may have been only one person at the other end. I was just going much more slowly than either before or after, when I took two more sectors singlehanded at my normal speed.
It's the element of contention that seems to cause a problem. If there are several of us in the same guild working on the same sector simultaneously then I don't experience any issue. If the game needs to update two rival scores on the same sector, it appears to choke.

To be fair, I saw the same thing this morning when I was working on a sector with no contention involved - the game slowed down for a while and then stopped lagging for the last 15 fights or so. Maybe something complex was going on somewhere else on the map, or maybe it is just a matter of only noticing a common background occurrence when it happens to be particularly inconvenient...

Happens every Sunday morning UK time for me, lag is usually bad between 0700 and 0900 am server time, I think it's because there are more players on at that time than are on during other days, but I am now so used to it I have stopped complaining, think it's down to servers, they are probably unable to cope with the increased influx.
