No, it doesn't (or then it's a very strange bug I have to fix...).

You can try increasing the minimal delay between two updates to reduce
the lag (the very preference you set to 0). Doing so will reduce the
"realtimeness" of the tag parsing, but should improve the performances.
Maybe the default delay of 250ms should be changed to a longer one, 250
being too aggressive...
