Subject: Opponent Lag on ICC seems to increase in a complex endgame

I run AVERNO on ICC, and I have noticed that the opponent's lag tends to be
stable throughout the game, but that for some people lag tends to really
increase in a complex endgame.

For example, say the opponent has 13 seconds left on the clock, and the game is
nearly balanced. Suddenly, lag balloons, and the opponent gets maybe 10 seconds
of real time for every second of game time.

The only way of deliberately creating this that I could think of would be to aim
your browser at a graphics intense web page, so that the bandwidth of the
connection gets overwhelmed, so that the move sent from my computer can't get
through. When that page loads, the opponent just hits refresh, and thinks some
more.

Anyone else notice this?
