What you think about PvP so far?

However, I believe that most of what people are considering to be 'lag' is intentional slow down to prevent lagging from having too great of an effect.

I imagine so, but my first PvP run compared to other ones on the same character, the lag is abominable. It was actually enjoyable on that first one, on the rest, it's just frustratingly slow for anything to happen.

Also, I keep joining them when they're half done... is that normal? (joining with 3-4 minutes left on the timer) Cause it's definitely stopping me getting good scores.
