Client system, E8400 Core2Duo overclocked to 4ghz, 8gb of DDR800 ram overclocked to 890mhz, GTX570 gpu Server system (right next to me) HP ProLiant DL380 G2 2x2.8ghz xeon processor, 8gb of ram, and 6 10k rpm hard drives in raid 5 *2GB of ram alone dedicated to minecraft.
I get this lag but very very slightly, on a local network and over the internet. Using oracle java on both sides not openJDK(yuck). It's definitely an SMP issue because this doesn't happen to me in my SP world.
It's not so bad that its unplayable but I notice it, and after reading everyone elses posts about it, it seems to get horribly worse the less powerful the computer is, specificly hard drives and network speed.
My theory is that the server has to load chunk data at the speed you ride the horse at, which would drive hard drive and network activity through the roof, the way the game loads terrain needs to be optimized.
