As soon as I get into the game, my CPU usage spikes and the secondary fan comes on to help keep it cool. What's the ultimate answer...? A newer model PC with a quad core CPU, 4 GIG of RAM and at least a 512 MEG PCI Express video card. That will help with the lag and your CPU taking such a beating. You still can't control what's going on with the servers on the Disney side but at least you know you're covered.
Adding RAM and a better video card will help an existing system. My second PC is only an AMD 2600 with 1.5 GIG of RAM and a 256 MEG NVIDIA video card. Yes it gets choppy from time to time, but the graphics are clean and the game plays rather well.
