Today, the stream went back to normal.. no more flooding and no temporary creatures. And the first thing I noticed was that the lag I was experiencing during the event is completely gone. And as I think back, it's pretty much the same way for every event (and/or new creature release that floods the stream).
So the question is.... Is the stream coding for an event/release the actual cause of the lag and not the traffic?
Sure the amount of players hunting the stream at once increases during an event, but the change from lag to no lag was so dramatic that I'm no longer sure that traffic is the problem.
Can this be investigated and maybe something changed?

Normal Stream lag vs Event Stream lag
I am in the process of moving house, so I will not be around much for the foreseeable future.

Re: Normal Stream lag vs Event Stream lag
I experienced a lag of some sort as well but this was on May 31st. I haven't had time to play on here for the past several days so I haven't tried to stream catch again, because when I did try, it was horrific. I would click on an egg and the page just wouldn't load foreverrrrr. I kept catching other eggs and I opened a new tab and reloaded the page and after five minutes it then showed me that I caught all the eggs I had clicked on, but their pages were all still individually opened and just loading forever and not finishing to load, so I gave up and closed them and like I said, I had the eggs and they were fine. This seemed like an issue on MS end.
