Since the Aquatic update our realm has become severely laggy in places.  We get lag spike in when new chunks load that can last 1 to 3 or more seconds the game just freezes.  The more members that are on the general lag kicks in and simply throwing items or firing arrows becomes a joke, taking several seconds to fall or hit there target.

This also affects things like minecarts which crawl at a pace half that of walking speed or more, Redstone is affected, you push a button and can make a cup of tea before the attached piston will extend..

Realm server performance is just awful right now.

If I download the world an load it up on my xbox as a locally hosted world there is hardly any lag spiking or frame rating at all, so we beleive it has to be realm server performance.

please fix this its killing the fun.
