For the last 2 weeks the lag has gotten far better for me, although it still occurs. At first the game was barely playable, but now it's quite good. I expect as the devs continue to optimize code, add hardware, and cut back on logging it will continue to improve.

We'll see though, who knows what will happen when this thing is open to the public. It could come to a screeching halt.

Although, your computer could be part of the problem with your lag. I'm pretty sure I've seen POTCO use about 1GB of ram on my system, so you must be swapping to disk like crazy. I'll check it's usage the next time I fire it up.

With a 64MB video card you may want to cut the graphics all the way down to see if your lag improves, and then move them back up one notch at a time see how it effects the game.
