Cultural Tip
In Italian tech circles, English loanwords like “lag” are common and perfectly acceptable in informal speech. In more formal writing you might replace lag with “ritardo” or “latency”. Also, adjectives can be placed before the noun for emphasis (e.g., “alte velocità”), but the post‑nominal position used here is the most natural.
