When there are a lot of viewers in a room, talking, tipping, etc... and things are scrolling fast it is bound to lag. It's asking a lot of ANY servers to run what SM has them run (thousands of constant uploads at once, cam2cam, payment processing) Any server EVER would have problems with it. If they had bad servers, the entire site would be down. Just sayin'. I would wager a guess that their servers are fantastic, but you can't expect even an olympic gymnast to do non-stop backflips.
Also on blaming the model as you put it, internet speed, wireless/vs hardline, YOUR internet provider having hiccups, processor speed, cache, hard drive speed, ram speed, ALL impact it. They don't magically know what every girl is running, and I guarantee you that AT LEAST 75% of streamate models (and I don't mean just top girls, I mean ALL models) are using under powered machines. And even taking the machine out of the equation, they have absolutely no control over the quality of service your internet provider has.
Yes, there will always be server problems for any site (how many times does Twitter or Facebook load to an error and they don't run feeds?), but, as a model, if you want to prove it's not on your end, you hunt down the support who DO help and do full on sessions with them like one model on here did.
