    The lag might be because of the server you're on? Loading an external movie clip requires a request to the server and, like any page or image, this can take time.

    To speed things up, you might consider starting to pre-load external swfs the moment the main timeline swf is loaded - you'll take a bandwidth hit if you load files that the user never sees, but it should give you the instantaneous feel you seem to be after.
