how come when you play scratch from this website it lags a lot but when you format sb2 to swf and use or play your game on other scratch emulator websites the lag is completely gone. I just don't get it?

I can't say for sure. Maybe it's because there is more traffic on the website itself, rather than just getting the content of projects?

I'm assuming that by “other Scratch emulators”, you mean phosphorus?

phosphorus runs your Scratch projects really fast by compiling them to JavaScript.

The Scratch player on the scratch.mit.edu runs on flash. They run at different speeds because they're different things entirely.

As for the difference between porting it to a .swf file and playing it on the Scratch site, I assume it's because the Scratch site also loads the block editor when the project is opened (regardless of whether or not you press “See Inside”). The emulator, “phosphorus” mentioned before also has the same advantage of not needing to load the block editor.

That sometimes happens to me. I don't get it!
