I do not have a graphics card.. but im not sure if that would explain 
the lagging, because I have had people test it as well and it lagged for 
them, and alot of them  have nice graphics cards and lots of ram.. also, 
I have made this simular thing in c to test, and it didnt lag at all in 
C.. so im not sure.
