Choose how far behind to draw other players when the connection gets worse and better

A fixed delay is either too short for a bad connection, so bodies freeze and jump, or too long for a good one, so everything feels sluggish. Changing it abruptly makes bodies visibly speed up or slow down. Here is a delay that tunes itself and changes without anyone noticing.

Why this works

How far behind you need to be depends on how uneven the arrivals are, not on how slow they are. Following that unevenness picks the smallest delay that still rarely runs dry, and changing it only a little at a time hides the adjustment.

When not to use it

Wrong for a local game or a very stable network, where a fixed delay is simpler and equally good. It is also wrong where every player must see the same delay for fairness, such as a competitive game: agree on one value instead.
