Lag? What sort of lag? Do you get a lag on this site? Oh - and what browser and OS?
Yes, it's about a second or two sometimes. Kind of a pain, especially when you're on mobile. It happens on any browser and I use Windows. Other's have reported this as well...as they have started the conversation, then the quote appears and the text wraps around it.
The bottom line is that it is going to happen as fast as your browser JavaScript engine can run the code. The code itself is very simple and just a few short lines. It is already loaded and ready to go. Clicking on the quote button runs the small script function and then the script engine of your browser takes over. We casn\t speed that up. That runs as fast as your hardware, browser and script engine runs - as simple as that.
Odd though. I don't believe anyone has ever mentioned any 'lag' before. And to be honest - defining 'a second or two' as lag seems somewhat harsh...

I know what you are referring to but I just tried a couple of times in this post and it was not even a second. Noticeable, but as Andy says, it's down to uncontrollable things. Remember if you quote without starting a reply first, you have to wait for the editor to open first which is it's own entity and can't be included in the load time for the quote appearing.
Just like any webpage, what loads quickly for some may not load quickly for others, although the more plugins you have running the slower it could potentially take, especially if some of these are tinyMCE additions..
as Andy said, the actual loading is done via javascript after page load... this depends on the speed of your computer and browser more than the server since its client based, not server based...
