7th Official FFR Tournament

I see that there are lots of posts regarding lag issues, and I'm having the same trouble myself (I typically play on the Velocity engine in Flash 9, and it's input lag that's the problem).
I was just wondering, is it immediately obvious for everyone when they start playing that the lag is present? For me, it's subtle - I'll get random goods here and there. It's so subtle, in fact, that I thought I was just getting worse at the game (I can't play my song and get a SDG anymore). I tried it out on other, easier songs, and I'll have the same issue where a note here and there will sometimes be hit a frame or two later than when I press the key. I tried playing on the R^2 engine as well, and I get similar issues (though I'm not sure if that's input lag or me just not being used to the engine).

For those who've had these problems in the past, does it usually clear up by the end of the round? If not, I hope my 4-0-0-0 from one of my first plays is sufficient to get me through! Thanks!
