Realm Lag Spike and general performance is terrible since Aquatic update

Since the Aquatic update our realm has become severely laggy in places.  We get lag spike in when new chunks load that can last 1 to 3 or more seconds the game just freezes.  The more members that are on the general lag kicks in and simply throwing items or firing arrows becomes a joke, taking several seconds to fall or hit there target.

This also affects things like minecarts which crawl at a pace half that of walking speed or more, Redstone is affected, you push a button and can make a cup of tea before the attached piston will extend..

Realm server performance is just awful right now.

If I download the world an load it up on my xbox as a locally hosted world there is hardly any lag spiking or frame rating at all, so we beleive it has to be realm server performance.

please fix this its killing the fun.

Still present in 1.5.3

Hello,

This has been an issue on my realm as well. Minecarts will lag the server as ride them, it only seams to lag when its loading new chunks in the distance, also the Redstone on realms will lag resulting in the pulse either going to fast or to slow. I have attached a video for more details on the lag. The video shows it lag or skipping frames for a moment before getting onto the Redstone drop zone I created, you can see the Redstone lag a little bit right before it opens the pistons so I can fall through the floor. NORMALLY that door doesn't work like 80% of the time on realms because the Redstone lags on timing and send the signal to fast or to slow.

Please note that my effected devices are iOS, Xbox, and PC. This is also current with 1.6.1. Also I was the only user on the realm which is why the door was working. If one player would have been added the door doesn't work at all. The last I would like to note is my download speed is over 100mb/s and I tested it after the video was over to confirm my internet didnt get a lag spike, in which it was over 100mb/s when tested.

Not a permanent fix but I found that closing the realm and then opening it again would stop all lag for a few hours afterwards.

We are having the same issue with our realm. This seems to be exaggerated when there are players in parts of the world that are far apart, but it makes the game almost unplayable for everyone. You could consider it unplayable for tablet users, as they already have performance issues, this just makes it even worse. 

I saw that there are notes for client-side improvements in the upcoming snapshot, hopefully, this is addressed there. 

My realm has also been having these problems, Things like redstone, eating, and flying take seconds to start. I have also noticed that it makes loads of ghasts to spawn in the nether like 20 at a time. I hope this gets fixed soon it is very annoying!

We believe that we have fixed the general performance issues related to the update aquatic, so if you are still having these issues please file a support ticket at https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/emails/new so that we can have a look at your realm specifically.

Closing this ticket. Please re-open if you disagree.
