Before I begin, I'd like to say that I'm not bragging about my amazing gaming rig in this thread. I just thought this was interesting enough to share.

Out of curiosity, I decided to see what sort of frame rate I was getting in osu!. I knew it was over 60 FPS, because the game looked silky smooth, but I wasn't sure of the exact number. I figured that since I could run Call of Duty 4 smoothly on maximum settings, I was probably running osu! at some ridiculously high frame rate, like 250 FPS. I was really shocked when I used FRAPS to find out my true frame rate:

It's over 9000! Divided by 5!

But, the question remains: if I get frame rates that high, why do I still lag from time to time?

This is the part where you <3 me for awesome optimisation. You should try turning on shaders - this will half your fps or so. As for the lag you speak of - it could be vsync tearing (kind've unavoidable) if you feel it constantly, but if it totally freezes gameplay, you should check the fps counter when this happens. It should suddenly floor down to 0 in this case. If you can still find such cases, it would be great if you figure out exactly when it happens, or what causes it. It can't just be a random pause... and I don't get any such freezes on all three of my test systems.

Also, nice framerate - I can only hit around 1960 at 1024x768 (shaders disabled). With shaders I average around the 1000-1200 mark.

Try running your tutorial with an FPS counter. I bet you get more FPS than me. ^_^

Shaders make me lag even more, sadly. Plus, the flashes seem to distract me too much.

My framerate gets pretty high too, but mouse mouse is jumpy as hell...

Well, it will lock up and jiggle in place like its not on a solid color surface or the lens is dirty, due to this I've given up on harder difficulty james maps

Turn down your mouse sensitivity in osu!. Turn it up in windows if you must.

I'm just buying a new mouse. If the mouse jiggles in place for a half second or so i'm gonna feel that on any sensitivity

(i know its my mouse because i have no trouble using any of my friends after getting used to his/her mouse sensitivity).
