SSDs seem to provide a huge improvement on both PC and PS3. You'd think it wouldn't make a difference considering all that data should be loaded into memory at the zone start, but a single read/write to the HDD on the PS3 during that fight could mess you up big time, and who knows what the client is trying to do in the background. Adjust your macro bars mid fight? That's a write event since it'll record the new settings into your configurations. Thankfully people aren't flashing gear like they did in XI, because that'd gum up the monkey works even more.
I hope it aint loading stuff of the hard drive during this fight that would be poor design. A ssd should decrease load times though.. But hopefully it aint disk cashing a fight. It might on those with low memory. My video card not the greatest but I have a I7 with 16 gb ram... If it were my computer I would see it everywhere and it would be everytime I enter titan..

As someone who plays on the PS3 primarily, I will say that lag hasn't been as big of an issue for me the Titan fight but in CT for about the first 3 fight it is.. at least as far as my animations go, and I am on a wireless connection with my PS3. I still am doing damage though and generating threat so it's not that big of a deal. Now I have noticed that any time Baraiza and I (we are married so same interwebz) are in the same instance, we do have a slight bit of lag occasionally but turning off spell effects for other people fixes that.
Edit: Also I still have the original hard drive in my PS3.

Go wired.. Wireless does add a little latency... It might help just that little bit,...
My guess is it isnt the same lag it is the ps3 not being able to keep up drawing everything. Tes is on the ps3 too, turn down the effects it helps allot. There is a settings for you and others for the ps3..
Thats what I dont get is there are aoe's in ct that are bigger than the pools and I have no issues getting out of them.. Also there are more people and mobs than titan which should make lag worse. Yea the fight is easier but I rarely have lag in there. Last night it did lag a little early on, I saw it but that is not normal for for me in ct.. I am guessing maybe a different team did the coding for CT and that why it is better...
Right now I think people are seeing more lag because of all the weather and sever cold. Also the servers are way full with all the kids and people being out of school and work. Tesee got put in que logging on the other day in like the thousands..
Crystal tower crashed the other day and also some of the worlds did too.. i am guessing they still have overloaded server issues on busy days like that when kids have no school...
Edit I reread your post and Seems you do turn the animations down... Sorry
