Does world size affect multiplayer lag?
I am trying to play multiplayer with the steam integration for multiplayer, but we have a small amount of server lag on our current large world.
Would restarting on a small/medium world help the server lag?

From what I have played on multiplayer Steam Terraria, the world size doesn't seem to have any effect on lag... it may just be the distance between you and your friend or a glitch. I've had a glitch much like a lag thing were when I joined my friend's world: I would get kicked out about 20 seconds into the world, and I lagged a lot to, but when he joined mine it was perfectly fine... and another one of his friends complained about this to him, so maybe just try to join the opposite player's world. Oh, and it may also depend on how old your computer / Terraria version is.
