Thanks for the responses, all.
My question was really more related to hardware than connection speed. Let's assume that your connection is not an issue. What's the minimum configuration of the machine you'd run it on? Someone said they got an 800mhz machine running it. Anyone else get it running respectably on a lesser machine? What suffers on slower machines?
It seems to me that particle systems (explosions) and whatnot shouldn't really suffer too badly, because those get rendered on the client side.
To address the bandwidth issue, I've got a server running on a cable modem that runs like a champ. None of the aforementioned lag issues. Does it run as good as the same server would in a colo facility with a dedicated T1? Probably not. Does it allow for 6-8 people to comfortably throw toilets? Certainly.
