Lag when first player hits Imperial Age

Well I don’t seem to crash to desktop anymore after the Jan 13 patch, but I have noticed that consistently, if the first person to hit imperial age is not me, the game lags for about 3 seconds, then everything speeds up to catch up to real time. Not game breaking for me. Only when the first person hits Imperial Age. Anyone hitting imperial age after that does not cause lag. Seems more like graphics lag than network…
