Was it the first time you loaded the map ?

If so then the high lag at start is normal ; it's because the bots are building a visibility table among all the waypoints. Once this table is built it is saved back in the bot's .pxp files and is just reloaded the next time. The lag corresponds to an intense TraceLine activity during the building of the table. Once it's finished (about 1 minute or so) then the bots should run fine.
