Okay, I don't know if this is because I had my mini custom built, that this might make a difference. But I have no monitor hooked up, no HDMI or VGA cable hooked up, and I experience no lag in my system what so ever. I have the latest model, the one that apple just released late October of this year. I did have to hook it up to a monitor for anishal setup, but after setup was complete, I unplugged it from the monitor, and moved it to another room, and have had no issues.

Again, go to your utilities folder and open activity monitor. Is anything in there consuming a large amount of processor resources? Sometimes left over print jobs can do this.
