Toon town doesn't need to be "real time" like rainbow six does. Yes your walking around and chatting with each other, but it doesn't need to be as quick to respond as R6. Tt is lagging, you just dont notice Xbox live is horribly coded on the network end. I got the opportunity to work on an xbox live game with the Unreal Engine (it was never finished so it didn't get released, you'd be surprised how much that happens in the gaming industry), it just seems like xbla is passing more info than it needs to and sow be optimized better. Some games are better than others, but the entire system needs an overhaul.
