Oh my! Lag reduced! (?)

After downloading the new pacth (1.10 for Europe), i can't believe it, but it seems the lag in 1920x1080 have been reduced!

There's still a difference between 1280x720 and 1920x1080, but for the first time, I feel it not like a big deal... I can even say that I prefer now the gameplay in 1080 resolution:

720p: The ball goes faster, ball paths are crazy and erratic, chain ramps is harder, keep the multiball alive is easier, catch the ball is easy, no lag input.

1080i: The ball goes slower, has more weight, chain ramps is easier, "control" the ball path is a lot easier but catch it is harder (the ball bounces a lot on the flip), deal with multiball is harder because there's still a little delay when I flip (stupid drains still happen), but it's far more playable than before.

But, there's still this weird ball "hiccup" time to time in 1080i... I wonder if it is the cause of the lag being reduced...

First, I thought there was a placebo effect. But there's a big clue it's not: the scroll on the table selection menu is faster than before, and react as soon as I press the D-pad buttons. (in 720p, it's still a lot faster compared to 1080i, though)

What's your feeling about this? Have you noticed some changes?
