Alas, currently, for Windows users, I think most lag is the result of Flash games that end up eating all available memory, and causing the machine to start using disk as memory -- s.. o..... p..a...i......n..f..u..l.l..........y  s...l..o.........w..w.w...www!

You can find out, usually, from the Task Manager, and see if your browser is eating 90% of the memory, and what's eating the CPU.

For CPU usage, it's often scripts with a bug/something that's just "unhandled" that cause it to eat an excessive amount of CPU cycles.

But yeah, if you reboot, start doing nothing else but the game, and you still have lag... then it's not likely your computer that is to blame.

If the browser is the issue, you can usually close all open windows for it... wait a few mins to make sure it'll start a new browser instance, then try again, and it's better. If it logs you back in automagically to stuff, it very well could have had the same Session ID that many games use, once you're logged in, and that would be a sign the browser didn't actually restart. That is one of the reasons that I never let browsers save my passwords -- and it also forces me to remember them on my own.
